Hebrews 9:23-28

Why does Easter matter more than any other day in history? In this Easter message from Hebrews 9:23-28, Pastor Ryan Skolrud unpacks why the resurrection of Jesus is the most important event the world has ever known—and why your response to it matters for eternity. We’ll see how Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice is better than the Old Testament sacrificial system, how His blood opens the way into God’s presence, and how His empty tomb guarantees both coming judgment and real hope for those who trust Him.

This sermon explores the seriousness of our sin against a holy God, the sufficiency of Jesus’ atoning death, and the certainty of His resurrection as the “lynchpin” of the Christian faith. You’ll be invited to consider the purpose for which you were created—to glorify God and enjoy Him forever—and to turn from self-rule to joyfully submit your life to Christ. Whether you are curious about Christianity, struggling with fear of death, or longing for assurance of salvation, this message will point you to the living hope found only in the risen Jesus.

  • I will repent and submit my life to Christ.
