Jesus didn’t just die for Barabbas—He died for us. In our place.

And because He rose, the story doesn’t end at the cross—it begins there.

This Easter message, preached in two parts by Pastors David and Adam, begins with the sobering weight of our sin and ends with the living hope of the resurrection. Through the story of Barabbas, the cross, and the empty tomb, we are invited to surrender to the only One who holds the keys to death and life.

🔥 In this message, you’ll hear:

✅ Why Jesus died “in our place” (Matthew 27)

✅ What Barabbas teaches us about grace

✅ Why the resurrection is more than a happy ending—it's a new beginning

✅ What it means for Jesus to hold the keys to death and Hades

✅ Why hope in anything else will fail—but hope in Jesus transforms everything
