What happens when the resurrection moves beyond the tomb and into everyday life? In this inspiring Easter message from Bethany Lutheran Church in Denver, we explore how the early church began to grow—not just through bold preaching, but through ordinary people empowered by the Holy Spirit. Rooted in John 20:19–31 and Acts 5:27–32, Pastor Gary dives into how the disciples moved from fear to proclamation. Jesus breathes the Spirit into his followers, and suddenly they’re not just witnesses—they’re branches spreading a message that filled Jerusalem.
