Empty

SPEAKER: Josh Taylor

PASSAGE: John 20

What does “empty” feel like in your life right now—loss, fear, uncertainty… or something you can’t quite explain?

In this Easter message, we explore how the empty tomb of Jesus meets us in our own emptiness. Looking at the real reactions of Jesus’ first followers—Mary’s grief, the disciples’ fear, and Thomas’ doubt—we see that Easter isn’t just a story to believe, it’s an invitation to experience life.

Jesus meets us personally in our grief, bringing encounter where we feel loss.

He meets us in our fear, offering peace and purpose in the middle of uncertainty.

He meets us in our doubt, inviting us to discover what’s real and true.

The resurrection reminds us that empty doesn’t have to mean the end—it can be the beginning. Because Jesus walked out of the tomb, new life is possible for us here and now.

If you’ve been feeling empty, this message is an invitation: What if that’s exactly where Jesus wants to meet you?
