Freedom from Burdens: The Stone Rolled Away | Freedom | Part 1 of 4 | Pastor John Hunter

Are you carrying a burden that feels too heavy to bear? Guilt, regret, hurt, bitterness, doubt—these weights can feel unbearable. But Easter reminds us that the stone has been rolled away.

In Part 1 of our new series Freedom, we rewind from Easter Sunday to Friday and discover what Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection really mean for our burdens. It’s not just about a cross or an empty tomb—it’s about freedom. Freedom to lay it all down. Freedom to step into new life. Freedom to walk in resurrection power.

📖 Key Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 – “Christ died for our sins... he was buried... he was raised on the third day…”

💬 Let’s talk in the comments:
What’s one burden you’re ready to lay down at the feet of Jesus?

📖 Reading Challenge: Read the Gospel resurrection accounts this week—Matthew 28:1-10, Mark 16:1-7, Luke 24:1-12, and John 20:1-18.
