The Rest of Easter

Apr 20, 2025  •  Pastor Thomas-Steele Carr

💬 “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Jesus (Matthew 11:28)


This Easter, Pastor Thomas-Steele invites us to rediscover the heart of the resurrection—not just in the empty tomb, but in the open arms of Jesus.

In a world where invitations often feel like obligations, Jesus offers something different: an invitation to REST. Not just physical rest, but soul-deep, eternity-shaping rest. This message explores the question the angel asked at the tomb—“Why do you look for the living among the dead?”—and shows how we’re still doing the same today, chasing life in all the wrong places.


🔑 In this message, you’ll discover:

• Why the resurrection of Jesus is an invitation to rest, not religion

• How our pursuit of “more” can cause us to miss the most important invitation

• That the rest of Easter… is actually rest forever


Whether you’re burnt out, overwhelmed, or simply searching for peace—there’s No Other Name that offers what Jesus does.
