SERMON SCRIPTURE: Matthew 20:1-10.

SERMON SYNOPSIS: Easter begins with trembling—an earthquake, an empty tomb, and startled women. But into that fear, heaven speaks: “Do not be afraid.” These words aren’t just comfort—they’re a declaration. Because Jesus is risen, death is defeated, and fear has lost its grip.

This sermon explores how resurrection transforms fear into awe, grief into joy, and trembling into testimony. Like the women at the tomb, we’re invited to step into boldness—not because we’re fearless, but because Christ has conquered everything we feared.

Memory Verse: John 19:30 — “It is finished.”
