How the Resurrection Rewrites Your Story

April 5, 2026

Handout Notes


In this powerful message from the This Is My Testimony series, Pastor Bill Russell explores how the resurrection of Jesus doesn’t just change history—it changes your story. Through Mark 15:43–47, Luke 24:13–33, and 1 Corinthians 15:1–6, we see real people wrestling with grief, confusion, and doubt… only to encounter the risen Christ who transforms everything.

From the sorrow of the tomb to the revelation on the road to Emmaus, this sermon reveals a profound truth: your story is not finished. The same Jesus who rose from the grave is still at work today—redeeming brokenness, restoring hope, and turning ordinary lives into powerful testimonies of God’s faithfulness and love.

No matter where you find yourself—discouraged, questioning, or searching—this message will remind you that the resurrection is not just something to believe in, but something to experience. When Jesus steps into your story, everything changes. Your pain has purpose, your past is redeemed, and your life becomes a testimony of His living power.
