About this episode

Today we get to celebrate the amazing gift of Easter Sunday. Eleven words recorded in Matthew 28:6 changed human history: "He is not here, for he has risen, as he said.” The stone that sealed the tomb of Jesus was but a pebble compared to the Rock of Ages. And because of the incredible miracle of the resurrection, we can all live with unshakable joy and hope.

Our Scripture for today comes from Matthew 28:6. Today's worship is I've Witnessed It (feat. Melodie Malone) by Passion.

--

Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11 to find real rest is for YOU. 

 

First15’s brand-new devotional book called Rhythms was written with you in mind. 

 

Each day of this 28-day devotional invites you to break away from your normal rhythm of waking, eating, working, and sleeping to discover a spiritual rhythm that, when practiced, will lead you into a more vibrant, abundant life in every way that matters.

 

Jesus wasn’t kidding when he said you can find rest in the midst of the craziness of life. He can give it to you, and Rhythms will guide you in that direction.
