Worship Preview: This Sunday’s theme, “I Believe in the Resurrection,” draws from Luke 20:27–40, where Jesus reminds His listeners that God “is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” The message focuses on the assurance that because Christ has been raised, we too will share in His resurrection. Though we cannot fully understand what resurrection life will look like, Scripture gives us confidence that death is not the end but the beginning of eternal life with God. We begin worship with Open the Eyes of My Heart, a song that invites us to see beyond what is visible and trust in the unseen power of God’s glory. Belief in the resurrection requires an open heart and eyes of faith—seeing hope where the world sees finality. Before and after the sermon, we sing The Day of Resurrection, a triumphant Easter hymn that celebrates Christ’s victory over death. Its joyful proclamation, “From death to life eternal,” connects directly to the sermon’s message, declaring that resurrection life is both our present hope and eternal promise. Together, these songs and Scripture readings remind us that our faith rests in the living Christ, whose resurrection assures our own. This Sunday we worship the Lord of life, who turns sorrow into joy and death into everlasting victory.
