Summary

No matter what you are going through, darkness has a deadline. In this powerful Easter Sunday message, Pastor Michael reminded us that the resurrection on Sunday does not erase the reality of Friday and Saturday. Many of us know what it feels like to live in the tension of grief, disappointment, loneliness, addiction, fear, anxiety, or waiting for God to move. But even when it feels dark, the SON is always shining. If you have been carrying pain, wrestling with purpose, facing loss, or wondering when your breakthrough will come, this message is for you. No matter how long it has been. No matter how dark it has been. No matter how impossible it feels. CLOCK IT. Darkness has a deadline. Here comes the Son.

0:38.3	Like I just want to tell you up front,
0:40.3	because a lot of people, they want to impress you first,
0:42.3	I want to tell you my end goal

1:16.6	It's weird because I haven't been able to preach on a Sunday on Easter for like eight years,
1:21.6	because usually we're doing ransom at this time.
1:24.6	And I have a little sermonette prepared for y'all in the middle to tell you about the
1:28.7	gospel, but I don't get to preach a whole message. And today I want to let you know, ransom is probably
1:34.5	one of the greatest productions of the story of Jesus Christ that you could ever see. And we have one more
1:40.6	showing of ransom tonight at 6 p.m.
