Hey Everybody,
We pray that God is blessing and keeping you. This past Sunday we opened Matthew 28 and the message was simple, but powerful. Jesus does not wait for us at the tomb. He wants us to meet him in Galilee, the place where he is.
Jesus is Ahead of You
See, before Mary and the women took a single step that resurrection morning, Jesus was already ahead of them. That is not a geographical detail — it is a revelation about what he was up to. He is always the forerunner. And the angel's message to the women is the same message to us today: "He has gone before you. Meet Him.”
Leave the Tomb
The tomb is wherever you keep returning when you do not know where else to go. Maybe it is a past season when God moved powerfully. A word from years ago you are still standing on. A version of faith that feels hollow now. The women were devoted — but they were at the wrong location. Paul said it clearly in Philippians 3:13–14: forget what is behind and press toward what is ahead. The tomb is not your address. It is your departure point.
Stay Focused
While Jesus was meeting the women with joy on the road, a coordinated lie was already being formed to discredit the resurrection. That pattern has not changed. Lies about your past, your present, and your future will always try to pull you back. Keep Galilee in view. Stay on the road and be determined.
The resurrection happened so Jesus could stand on that mountain with a word of destiny. So, let’s keep moving toward our personal Galilee to where Jesus is. He has a plan to give you a future and a hope!!!
Be Blessed,
Pastor Herman Porter Jr & Pastor Miranda Porter
PS. Looking forward to seeing you Sunday!
