The Rules Have Changed!

In this sermon, Pastor Clarence starts with a surprising example: when Uno changed its rules about stacking draw cards, the internet went wild. People didn’t like the change—until they realized the creators saw something broken and fixed it.

That’s exactly what God did through Jesus.

In Luke 24, the women go to Jesus’ tomb expecting death, but the angel says, “He is not here; He has risen!” The resurrection changes everything—death no longer wins, and the old rules of sin, shame, and fear are broken.

We are reminded that Jesus didn’t just rise from the grave—He rewrote the story. For Peter, who denied Him, the resurrection meant grace, not condemnation. For us, it means hope in despair, joy in suffering, and life after death. Now, we each have a choice: live by the old rules or step into the new life Jesus offers.

The rules have changed. And with Jesus, so can we.
