Easter isn’t just another holiday—it’s the day that changed everything. On this Resurrection Sunday, we unpack the miracle of the empty tomb and invite you to discover what it truly means that Jesus is alive. Through Mary Magdalene’s encounter and the story in John 20, you’ll see how:

Because He lives, I am free—“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV);

Because He lives, I am safe—“I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand” (John 10:28-29 ESV);

Because He lives, I will rise—“I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live” (John 11:25-26 ESV).

Break out of empty traditions and celebrate the real hope of Easter—because Jesus lives, you can have freedom, security, and the promise of resurrection.

This week on the Hope Church Frankfort podcast, Pastor Jeff brings a fresh word for Palm Sunday with his message, "The Lord Needs It."

As Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowds were filled with holy anticipation and hope for the Messiah. But, like waiting for that long-desired gift only to find it isn’t what you expected, Pastor Jeff challenges us: What if what Jesus wants most is our obedience and surrender, no matter our expectations?

Drawing from Luke 19, this episode explores the power of letting go, why true followers lay everything before the King, and how even the rocks would worship if we remain silent.

Be inspired to give Jesus what He deserves—your worship, your surrender, your whole life—because the Lord needs it, and the Lord deserves it.

What is the church really all about, and why does being “planted” matter?

Drawing from Psalm 1, Pastor Jeff unpacks how church is meant to be more than a place to attend—it’s where we’re invited to deep-rooted health, wholeness, and holiness.

Just as healthy things grow and growing things change, discover why being planted in God’s Word and among God’s people leads to true spiritual flourishing.

Whether you’ve felt like a hospital patient in crisis, a rehabber in need of steady growth, or an athlete ready for training, this message calls you to move beyond surface involvement into a life of real transformation: it’s time to plant.
