Easter at North Point 2026 | Andy Stanley

Main message: The resurrection of Jesus is the decisive, historically grounded starting (or restarting) point for faith — the eyewitness accounts and the transformed lives of his followers validate Jesus' claims and invite listeners to follow him despite doubts or bad church experiences.

Key points:

• The New Testament eyewitnesses (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and others) documented the resurrection and their testimony spread Christianity.
• Jesus' first followers initially abandoned him and assumed he would stay dead; their later encounters with the risen Jesus rekindled their faith.
• The resurrection validates Jesus' claims (including promises about eternal life) and is the hinge for trusting what he said about God and about us.
• If you’ve been hurt by church, have doubts, or are skeptical about the Bible, Easter is still the appropriate on‑ramp to begin or restart a faith journey.
• Questions and doubts are normal; many answers come as people follow — the speaker offers a simple prayer/invitation to begin following Jesus.

Scriptures mentioned: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts; reference/quote: “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25); Sermon on the Mount (Matthew)
