Easter 2026: Anew

Speaker
Andrey Polishchuk

Happy Easter! Today is the day when everything changed. Not yesterday, not tomorrow — today.

There are things in life that cannot be redone: you cannot rewind time, you cannot undo a choice you made. And this is where Easter begins. The miracle of the resurrection is one small word: ANEW. It is when God makes a way where there is no way, and gives you a chance you did not deserve.

Pastor Andrey Polishchuk walks through four encounters of the risen Christ with completely different people. You will discover how Jesus brought Mary Magdalene back to life, set the hearts of the disciples on fire on the road to Emmaus, restored Thomas's faith, and fully redeemed Peter's betrayal.

Key thoughts:

«The angels rolled away the stone not so that Jesus could come out — He did not need any help. The stone was rolled away so that we could enter and see what He had done».

«If you have lost your fire for God, you have most likely simply drifted away. A log that has rolled out of the fire still smoulders a little, but without the rest of the coals it quickly goes out».

«We do not need a sign, we need a revelation. A sign says: "prove it to me". Revelation says: "open my eyes"».

«Jesus did not say to Peter, who had betrayed Him: "Well, I did warn you". A dead Jesus is the end of the story. A risen Jesus is full redemption. The one who has been redeemed knows the price of redemption better than anyone».
