This Easter Sunday message from Church of the Highlands centers on the transformative truth that 'God is for you,' drawing from Romans 8:31-39. The pastor opens with joyful celebration, welcoming congregants across multiple campuses, correctional facilities, and deployed military personnel. He emphasizes connection through an annual Easter survey and the digital 'Tap Connect' tool, which has boosted engagement by over 400%. The core of the sermon unpacks the three most important questions in human history: Is there a God? What is God like? And will I receive His love? Using Romans 8, the message affirms that God is not distant or judgmental, but actively for us—having sacrificed His Son, forgiven all sin, and interceding on our behalf. The pastor breaks down three powerful truths: no sin is too big, no shame too deep, and no situation too far gone for God’s love. He shares personal stories, cultural observations, and vivid metaphors—like the 'huperonikio' (more than conquerors) Greek word—to illustrate victory in Christ. The message culminates in a powerful invitation to respond, with a live poll using cards or phones to declare one’s spiritual stance. The service closes with a prayer for those choosing to begin a relationship with God, affirming that Easter proves God’s love is real, personal, and life-changing.
God is for you—personally, actively, and unconditionally.
No sin, shame, or situation is beyond the reach of God’s love and grace.
Jesus’ death and resurrection prove God’s love and provide freedom and purpose.
Responding to God’s love is not about religion but about a real, personal relationship.
You are not alone—God is with you in every trial, and He is interceding for you right now.

God Is for Us: The Good News of Easter
“He who did not spare his own son but gave him up for all of us, how will he not also along with him graciously give us all things?”
No Sin Is Too Big, No Shame Too Deep
The message addresses the weight of sin and shame, explaining that God justifies us and declares us forgiven. The pastor shares personal and pastoral insights, emphasizing that Jesus is interceding for us right now.
No Situation Is Too Far Gone
The pastor uses the Greek word 'huperonikio' (more than conquerors) to illustrate that in Christ, we are not just victorious—we are super-victorious. He shares a personal story of a basketball game with his sons to illustrate spiritual victory.
“If God is for us, who can be against us?”
“I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels or demons, neither the present or the future or any powers, neither height nor depth or anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
“He saw you in 2026. Wherever you are, campus, location, online, correctional facilities deployed around the world. He saw you and said, you're worth it.”
