## Resource

At Word of Life Church, you belong even if you don’t believe. Welcome to this powerful message where Pastor Jason Shirley dives deep into the heart of God—showing that you are worth it to Him, no matter where you are in your journey. In this Resurrection-focused sermon, experience a raw and personal testimony: In 2019, at the lowest point, the Spirit of God declared, “I don’t want to give you a restoration—I want to give you a resurrection.” Death had to come first, but Jesus, the Resurrection and the Life, refused to give up.

For believers: Let this stir overwhelming gratitude and give you His heart toward others. He’s alive! And because the grave couldn’t hold Him, sin and death can’t hold you. The same power that raised Jesus lives in us! If this message touches you, like, comment your favorite part, share with someone who needs to hear “You are w…
