Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick.

I'm the pastor of Elevation Church, and this is our podcast.

I wanted to thank you for joining us today.

Hope this inspires you.

Hope it builds your faith.

Hope it gives you perspective to see God is moving in your life.

Enjoy the message.

Where would you expect to find Jesus on Resurrection Sunday? You know, he's 40 days away from ascending into heaven and the Holy Spirit is coming to

Jerusalem, so perhaps you would expect to find him in a place with stained glass windows.

Would it surprise you to know that he went on the road, that Jesus Christ, the son of God, resurrected

from the grave, who's certainly risen from the dead, has the power to call for any means

of transportation. I mean, if I'm up from the dead, I'm getting an angel to give me a ride.

Forget Uber. I don't need lift. I would want to ride in style. But Jesus sets out on this

road, touch somebody, say walk with me. You sounded like you didn't really want to walk. You sounded like you were headed somewhere you didn't want to be. Touch them like you're going somewhere you want to go and say, walk with me.

Walk with me.

That's really the invitation of the series.

It's been turning my world upside down and really revolutionizing my walk with God to see

Jesus walking backward on the day that he got up

from the dead.

To see that he's not in Jerusalem where the Holy Spirit is coming, the place where he was crucified

was the place where the promise is going to be released.
