Amen and amen. How we doing, church? Doing all right? You look good, better than normal.

Hey, if you got your Bible, grab them. We're going to be in Psalm 22. It'll take us a minute to get there.

It'll make more sense when we arrive there. Hey, we are a movement for all people to discover

in deep in a relationship with Jesus Christ. So if you fall in the all people category, then you have found yourself in the right place.

This is actually week seven of a seven week series that we've been called if the tomb is empty.

We started seven weeks ago on a mountain called Mount Moriah, where Abraham, father of Isaac, takes his only begotten son, the son of his love,

marches him up a mountain, puts wood on his back, and he takes him there to sacrifice his son because God told him to.

But when he got to the top of that mountain, there was a substitute there, a ram with his

head caught in a thicket, and God said use that ram as a substitutionary sacrifice.

And so Abraham caused that mountain Mount Moriah.

And he said, upon this mountain, God will provide.

And so 2,000 years later in real time in seven weeks for us,

we are now back to that same mountain where God is going to send his only begotten son,

put a cross on his back. He is going to march his way up Mount Calvary, and he is going to send his only begotten son put a cross on his back. He is going to march his

way up Mount Calvary, and he is going to be the sacrifice for us. But that's not where it ends.

They lay his body in a cold, dead tomb. Then three days later, God breathes new life back into his

son, and he is resurrected from the grave. He's buried in a borrowed tomb

because he only needs it for the weekend and then he gives it back because he comes out of that

tomb and because Jesus is alive, you and I can live life like our risen Savior lives. Amen? And that's

why we're here. Now, I know we got all kind of different people here. Some of you, some of you are at 1122 all the time. You love Jesus. You've been praying and fasting as we've been getting ready for resurrection Sunday. You bought the book. You've been handing them out like Cadbury eggs, man. Praise God for you. Thank you. We're glad that you're here. There's also some of you here, and you didn't even know you were coming to church today.

Nana guilted you into it, or some of you just got totally tricked.

Your daddy said, get in the truck, we're going to lunch.
