On Easter Sunday, we don’t just celebrate a tradition—we remember a moment that changed history forever.   In this message, Pastor Rich shares the real story behind the resurrection of Jesus—not a fairy tale, not a metaphor, but a miracle that happened in real time, in real space… and still has real power today.   Whether you’ve felt hopeless, far from God, or like it’s too late for your story to change—this message is for you. The resurrection isn’t just an ancient event. It’s a present-day invitation.  

Two men hung beside Jesus. Both broken. Both guilty. Only one walked into paradise. This Palm Sunday message unpacks one of the most powerful moments in Scripture: the interaction between Jesus and the thief on the cross. One mocked. One believed. And in his final breath, he found the grace none of us deserve—but all of us are offered. If you’ve ever wondered if it’s too late, if you’ve done too much, or if God could really forgive you—this message is for you. Because grace isn’t earned. It’s received.

Have you ever asked, “Will God accept me?” You’re not alone. In this message, Pastor Rich opens up about his personal experience with rejection—from painful childhood wounds to awkward ministry moments—and how God’s unconditional acceptance reshaped his life.
