THE GREATEST DAY IN HISTORY - John 20:1-18

What if one morning changed everything? In this powerful Easter sermon, Pastor Roland walks through John 20:1–18 and reminds us that the resurrection of Jesus isn’t just a moment in history, it’s the cornerstone of our faith, a deeply personal reality, and a mission we’re called to carry.From Mary’s tears in the garden to her joyful declaration, “I have seen the Lord,” we see how the risen Christ meets us in our grief, calls us by name, and sends us forward with hope.If you’ve ever wondered whether Jesus sees you, knows you, or can change your story, this message is for you.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:John 20:1-18----CONNECT WITH US:Online: https://www.reachthegrove.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/reachthegrove/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reachthegrove/Give: https://www.reachthegrove.com/give/----#reachthegrove #jesus #onlinechurch #faith #bible #believe #belong #cross #inspiration #christian #churchonline #truth #knowledge #trust #gospel #expository #preach #preaching #holyspirit #worship #praise #discipleship #sermon #easter #resurrection

Passion Week 2025 - Holy Saturday - Matthew 27:59-60

On this day, everything felt still. The disciples were scattered. Hope felt lost. The body of Jesus laid in a borrowed tomb. Heaven was silent. But make no mistake, silence is not the absence of God.Holy Saturday reminds us that even when we can’t see Him moving, God is still at work. Beneath the surface. Behind the scenes. Preparing resurrection power.Sometimes the silence is just the space before the miracle. So let's wait in hope. Sunday is on the way.

Passion Week 2025 - Spy Wednesday - Matthew 26:14-16

Spy Wednesday is the moment Judas begins to trade Jesus for silver. Matthew 26:14–16 tells us he went to the chief priests and asked, “What will you give me if I deliver Him over to you?”He settled for 30 pieces of silver. Before we judge Judas, we have to ask ourselves: What are we trading Jesus for? Comfort? Control? Approval?Spy Wednesday reminds us ... ... don’t trade what is eternal for what is temporary.

WHEN THE SPIRIT MOVES - Acts 10:44-48

In this powerful continuation of Acts 10, we witness the undeniable work of the Holy Spirit as He moves in the hearts of unexpected people, in unexpected places. As Peter is still preaching, the Spirit falls, confirming that the Gospel is truly for all.Join us as we unpack three key truths from this moment:1. The Spirit Comes Without Delay – God doesn’t wait for the perfect conditions. He moves when hearts are ready.2. The Spirit Breaks Down Barriers – Race, culture, background, and religion—none can stand against the unifying power of the Gospel.3. The Spirit Marks God’s People – The evidence of the Spirit’s presence is unmistakable. It’s a seal of belonging and transformation.This isn’t just history, it’s a reminder that God is still moving. The same Spirit that fell on Cornelius and his household is still at work in the Church today.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:Acts 10:44-48----CONNECT WITH US:Online: https://www.reachthegrove.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/reachthegrove/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reachthegrove/Give: https://www.reachthegrove.com/give/----#reachthegrove #jesus #onlinechurch #faith #bible #believe #belong #cross #inspiration #christian #churchonline #truth #knowledge #trust #gospel #expository #preach #preaching #holyspirit #worship #praise #discipleship #sermon #bookofacts
