What difference does Jesus' resurrection make in your daily life? In this episode, Pastor Chris Teien explores Luke 24 and 1 Corinthians 15 to show how the risen Christ transforms fear into faith, confusion into confidence, and hesitation into bold living. Whether you're in a season of waiting, grief, or growth, this message helps you embrace God's promises and live with purpose and hope today.

Key Points:

1. Live Boldly by Doing What You Know You Need to Do – Like the women who went to the tomb with burial spices (Luke 24:1), we’re called to take faithful steps even when the outcome is uncertain.
2. Live Boldly with an Eternal Perspective – When we focus on eternity, our priorities shift, and we find strength to endure temporary setbacks (Luke 24:2–3).
3. Live Boldly by Trusting His Promises – Jesus predicted His resurrection (Luke 24:6–8), and He kept His word. We can trust God’s promises, even when we don’t fully understand the plan.
4. Live Boldly by Believing and Sharing the True Gospel Message – The Gospel isn’t just good news for Easter—it’s life-changing truth to believe and share every day (Luke 24:10–12; 1 Corinthians 15:1–22).
