“Resurrection that Gives Refuge for Redemption”
Sermon given by Pastor Robb for Easter, April 5, 2026.
Concludes the Surveying Deep Roots for New Seasons sermon series.
Covers Nehemiah 9:32-38 and John 21:1-7 & 15-19.
It is a great temptation to give in to the sunk cost fallacy that because we have stuck our heels in about one problem or another, we should just stay stubborn and stuck even when we realize a harm and see a possibility for transformation God is calling us to. Admitting our quagmire and letting go of something we’ve clutched to can feel like a death, but Easter reminds us that Jesus’ death and resurrection give us a chance at something better for all darkness, sin, oppression, failure and misguidedness if we just trust to let go of them before God and take up the new life Jesus offers.
