This Easter Sunday message from New Point Church centers on the emotional and spiritual journey of the disciples after Jesus' crucifixion, emphasizing that the resurrection began not with celebration, but with confusion, doubt, and disappointment. The sermon draws deeply from Luke 24, highlighting the two disciples on the road to Emmaus who, despite their hope being crushed, were met by Jesus—walking beside them unrecognized. The message reframes Easter not as a distant historical event, but as a living reality where God meets people in their brokenness, silence, and uncertainty. The speaker invites listeners to reflect on their own 'we had hoped' moments—times when life didn’t unfold as expected—and to respond by turning back, reconnecting with community, and embracing a new identity in Christ. The sermon culminates in a personal invitation to surrender to Jesus, with a call to action through a QR code for follow-up support, prayer, and community connection.
Your 'we had hoped' moment doesn't mean God has failed—He is still working, even when you can't see it.
Jesus meets you in your confusion, doubt, and pain—He is not intimidated by your questions.
The resurrection began with silence and emptiness; Easter is not just a celebration, but a call to action.
Turning around and rejoining community is essential—faith is not meant to be lived alone.
Your identity is not defined by failure or past shame, but by Christ’s victory over death.
The Weight of 'We Had Hoped'
“We had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel.”
The Silence of Saturday
The sermon emphasizes the overlooked day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday—the silence, the stillness, and the confusion. This 'Saturday' represents the space many people live in: not broken like Friday, not restored like Sunday, but suspended in uncertainty.
The Empty Tomb and the Women's Confusion
“They did not believe the women because their words seemed like nonsense.”
Jesus Walks with the Disciples

From Turning Around to Reconnecting
“The tomb is empty, the Father is still running towards you, and your story is not over.”
“The tomb is empty, the Father is still running towards you, and your story is not over.”
“Jesus did not come to make bad people good. He came to make dead people alive.”
“Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the scriptures to us?”
