You’re Close to God…But Still Outside (Easter Message)

Summary: This Easter message explores the spiritual tension of being "close to God" while remaining "outside" a full commitment or surrender. Drawing from the account of Mary at the tomb in John 20, the sermon addresses why people often retreat to the safety of old comforts instead of stepping into the unknown with God. Ultimately, it encourages viewers to recognize God’s presence in the midst of their pain and doubt, viewing their current struggle as a starting point for discovery rather than a final destination.
