What's Next? | Rev. Scott Chrostek | Church of the Resurrection

About this sermon

This week, Pastor Scott reflects on the incredible movement of God during Holy Week and Easter weekend — a time filled with powerful moments, questions, and wonder. Even as the celebrations end, he reminds us that the spirit of Easter isn't something we leave behind. It’s something meant to change us, move us forward, and awaken a deeper sense of purpose in our lives. Through the story of "Doubting Thomas," Pastor Scott shows us that questions and doubts aren’t weaknesses — they are invitations. Just like Thomas, when we lift up our honest questions, Jesus meets us there with love, clarity, and new direction. God isn't intimidated by our doubts; He welcomes them, using them to draw us closer to the life He calls us to live. This message invites us to step into childlike humility and curiosity — to press on through uncertainty, to keep asking, and to keep growing. Instead of striving to have all the answers, we are called to wonder, to seek, and to love boldly, trusting that Jesus will meet us in every question and lead us into a deeper, fearless faith. If you’ve ever found yourself asking, "Where do I go from here?" or “What’s next for me?” — this sermon is for you. Watch now and be encouraged to walk forward with love, hope, and courage as Easter people, no matter what questions you carry.
