"Alive & Risen," dives deep into the heart of Mark 16:1-7. Pastor Akil guides us through the early morning journey of Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, as they set out to anoint Jesus' body, only to find the tomb empty and an angelic message that would alter the course of history.
In this sermon, we'll explore the significance of the empty tomb and the angel's message, "Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him." This passage isn't just a cornerstone of the Christian faith; it's a beacon of hope and renewal for everyone, symbolizing that darkness and despair do not have the final word.
Pastor Akil will unpack how the resurrection of Christ empowers us to live lives marked by victory, purpose, and the transformative power of hope. We'll look at the practical implications of what it means to live as people of the resurrection, embodying the hope, peace, and joy that come from knowing Jesus is alive and has conquered death.
Whether you're familiar with the Easter story or hearing it for the first time, this message is designed to resonate with everyone, inviting you to experience the profound implications of Jesus' resurrection in your own life. So, bring your doubts, your fears, and your hopes as we celebrate the fact that Jesus is indeed Alive & Risen!
Don't miss this powerful message of hope and renewal. Tune in to discover how the resurrection of Jesus Christ can transform your life today and forever.

Get ready for Palm Sunday with Pastor Akil as he takes us through an eye-opening sermon, "The King Is Here," focusing on Luke 19:28-38. This isn’t just about remembering Jesus showing up in Jerusalem in a way no one expected - on a donkey, calm and peaceful, not like the powerful rulers everyone was used to. This part of the Bible shows us the excitement and deep meaning behind Jesus’s arrival and sets us up for everything that’s going to happen during Holy Week.
Pastor Akil will dig into what it really means when we say Jesus is our King. It's not about being powerful or famous the way we usually think about it. Instead, it’s about humility, helping out, and loving others, even when it’s tough. This sermon is going to challenge us to think about how we welcome Jesus into our own lives. Do we really get what He stands for? Are we ready to follow His lead, even when it goes against what everyone else thinks is important?
This talk is more than just a history lesson; it's a nudge for all of us to start living more like Jesus did - spreading peace, love, and fairness wherever we go. As we celebrate Palm Sunday, let’s think about how we can let Jesus take the lead in our lives, changing us and the world around us for the better.
“The King Is Here” is a chance to see how Jesus’s story isn’t just something that happened a long time ago - it’s about how He’s still here with us, guiding us and wanting the best for us. Let’s dive into this together and find out how we can make His presence felt in our lives every day.
