This is the first sermon in a new series on the Book of Acts. Pastor Aaron preaches an introductory sermon to this series based on the first 11 verses of chapter 1.

In this sermon, Pastor Aaron examines the unique resurrection appearance of Jesus that occurs in Luke 24. Jesus appears to two disciples on the road to Emmaus. At first they don't recognize Jesus, but then after spending time with him and listening to his word, they come to see Jesus for who he truly is - the resurrected Savior of the world!

This event changed their lives from that very moment, and we pray that hearing their eyewitness testimony will change yours as well!

On the first day of the last week of Jesus' life - He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. Those gathered strew palms at His feet - an act of homage to the One they proclaimed to be: "the King who comes in the name of the Lord!" (Luke 19:38).

But when a claim is made about Jesus' identity - you can bet: there will be opposition.

The same is true for us today. Whether we exclaim it in a public setting, model the way of Jesus in our work or at home, or even confess in our own hearts that Jesus is Lord - you can bet: opposition will be close at hand.

How do we face it? Can we? By what power?

Listen as Pastor Kevin shares "the secret" to facing opposition - through Jesus' own response to the opposition that faced Him.
