Because He Lives – A Resurrection Sunday Message
Message by Pastor Will Langford | Great Bridge Baptist Church
Date: April 21, 2025
On this Resurrection Sunday, Pastor Will Langford delivered a heartfelt and thought-provoking message centered on the hope, power, and promise of Jesus' resurrection. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 15, Pastor Will reminded us that the empty tomb isn't just a historical moment — it's a life-altering reality.
He challenged skeptics and believers alike to reflect not just on the truth of the resurrection, but on the impact it has on our lives today. If the resurrection is true — and the evidence through Scripture, prophecy, and eyewitnesses says it is — then it changes everything.
Three Powerful Truths from Pastor Will:
Because He lives, Jesus is who He said He was.
Over 500 eyewitnesses saw Him. Prophecy confirms Him. If He rose, He is Lord.Because He lives, we can experience forgiveness.
No one is too far gone — not even Paul, a former persecutor. Grace still works.Because He lives, following Him is the only wise choice.
What you do with Jesus determines whether death is the end… or just the beginning.
Pastor Will shared touching personal moments — from singing "Because He Lives" at a hospital bedside, to grieving his father's loss — to illustrate how this living hope sustains us through every season of life.
He reminded us that we don't worship a philosophy. We worship a risen Savior who invites us to experience unflinching hope, even in the face of death.
