Week 5: The Greatest Hero of All Time
This Easter, we’re flipping the script on everything you thought you knew about heroes, hope, and resurrection. In a world chasing spotlight saviors, Jesus redefined heroism—not by demanding admiration but by empowering broken people to become world-changers. From the fear-filled tombs of shame, regret, and failure, to the open invitation of new life in Christ, this message will challenge the way you see yourself and the world around you. If Jesus already rolled the stone away, why are we still stuck inside? Discover why Resurrection Sunday is more than a celebration—it's a call to rise.
From Series: "Hero Makers"
When you hear the word "hero," what comes to mind? Maybe it’s a firefighter running into danger, a soldier on the battlefield, or a superhero saving the day. Heroes are bold. Heroes are fearless. Heroes change the world. But what if being a hero isn’t just about standing in the spotlight? What if the greatest heroes aren’t the ones trying to be the star—but the ones who empower others to rise? The world tells us that heroes are extraordinary people with special abilities, but Jesus flips the script. He calls ordinary people to do extraordinary things—not by their own strength, but through His power. "Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these." (John 14:12) Jesus didn’t just come to be a hero—He came to make hero makers. He gave us a mission: "Go and make disciples of all nations..." (Matthew 28:19). He calls us to build, invest, and empower—to raise up others, to lead with love, and to leave a legacy that goes beyond ourselves. But there’s one thing standing in the way. It’s not the world, not our circumstances… it’s us. Join us for our new series, HERO MAKERS, as we discover how God is calling each of us to step into a greater purpose—not just to be heroes, but to make them.
