1) "And now we arrive on Sunday morning, just a breath of fresh air, a sigh of relief. This is something we can get used to, something we can celebrate and be excited about... Today, we celebrate the fact that Jesus is, in fact, risen from the dead. This is the miracle of all miracles. Jesus has defeated death and the grave." [53:45]( | | )

2) "That he is in fact who he claimed to be. He is the Messiah. He is the Savior of the world. It's not just songs that we sing to make us feel good. This is a story that we tell because he has changed everything for everyone." [01:12:01]( | | )

3) "Your part now is to repent. To turn from your way of living 180 degrees and live for me. To turn from putting your trust in yourself or in something or someone else and put your trust in me... Our part is simply to put our trust in Jesus." [01:09:46]( | | )

4) "For those that did raise your hand, I'm going to ask if you haven't been baptized, I want you to have a conversation with me or one of the pastors this week. And I want to talk to you about baptism. Because baptism is an outward expression, of the inner work of grace that God is doing in our life." [01:17:58]( | | )

5) "Most importantly today, of all the decisions, of all the next steps that you can take, can I tell you this morning that you have an opportunity right here and right now to understand and to receive that Jesus is in fact Lord." [01:15:42]( | | )

6) "The question is, do you believe it? Do you believe that this moment changes everything for everyone? And if you believe it, then do you receive it? Do you receive it? You see, it's one thing to believe in this story... But it's something altogether different, and let me tell you, more powerful and purposeful when you choose to receive this story." [55:19]( | | )

7) "Jesus knew right what was needed for a people who no doubt, as we see in verse 38, were frightened. And had hearts that were filled with doubt. Jesus knew when he came into that space exactly what everybody was working through and going through." [01:02:55]( | | )

8) "The first priority that Jesus has when he encounters them in this resurrected place is to comfort them. Peace. My peace. Be with you. He then gets on to the business of convincing them that he is in fact Jesus... And he quickly goes on to give them three proofs." [01:05:08]( | | )

9) "Jesus now is helping them to understand... He's peeling it back... This is a moment when he says, let me help you make sense of this all. And he convinces them that he is who he is. He then begins to convince them. Convict his followers with what they must now do on this side of the resurrection story." [01:07:12]( | | )

10) "Sunday morning came, and the women came to the tomb, and it became really clear, very quickly, that something has happened. Something has changed... Over the course of the next 40 days, Jesus goes on to prove to his followers, and many observers, that he indeed is, in fact, alive." [01:00:12]( | | )
