How Quickly We Forget: The Power of the Empty Tomb | Sermon Only | Dea. Angela Merriweather

About this sermon

In this powerful Resurrection Sunday sermon, Dea. Angela Merriweather delivers a heartfelt message titled "How Quickly We Forget," based on Luke 24:1-8. Focusing on Joanna, a faithful follower of Jesus, the sermon explores the importance of unwavering commitment to Christ. Joanna’s journey from a life of luxury to serving Jesus exemplifies the daily decision to die to self and follow Him. The empty tomb serves as a symbol of redemption, healing, and victory over sin and death. Dea. Merriweather reminds us that Jesus is the key to our healing—physical, emotional, and spiritual—and urges us to remember His promises, especially when our crosses feel heavy. This sermon calls believers to stay fully committed, trust in God’s healing power, and hold fast to His word. - Luke 24:1-8 – The Resurrection of Jesus - Mark 8:35 – "For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it." - Matthew 16:24 – "Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.’" - Hebrews 13:6 – "So we say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
