How Will God Judge Me?

Noah Herrin preaches an Easter message centered on the resurrection as God’s decisive reversal of ‘it’s over’ moments. He opens by reminding the congregation that God can show up anywhere and that God specializes in flipping the least likely people and situations. Using Mark 16 and the disciples’ despair after the crucifixion, he argues that the resurrection proves God alone decides when something is finished - and he often says, “no, I’m just getting started.” Herrin uses the angel’s instruction to “go tell the disciples, including Peter” and a courtroom illustration to show that the gospel is for guilty people: Jesus takes sin’s penalty and gives new identity. He closes with a clear invitation to receive Christ, stressing the only prerequisite is recognizing your need.

““God proved once and for all that nothing is over until he says that it's over.””12:12 · Noah Herrin

Take it with you

Easter declares that God can reverse outcomes you’ve labeled ‘over.’ If you feel defeated - in marriage, finances, identity, or purpose - remember the resurrection means God can start again. The practical step Herrin gives is simple: recognize your need, accept Jesus’ gift by faith (confession and trust), and connect with the church community for follow-up and discipleship.
