Missing What’s Right in Front of You

Sometimes we miss what’s right in front of us—even when it’s exactly what we need. In this Easter season reflection on the Emmaus Road story, we explore how the disciples walked with Jesus without recognizing him, and how their grief and fear shaped the story they believed. This sermon invites us to consider the stories we tell ourselves—and how the resurrection offers a better one rooted in hope, grace, and new life.

What You’ll Learn:

Recognize how fear and disappointment shape the stories we believe

Understand how the resurrection reframes failure, loss, and death

Let go of the pressure to prove yourself or hold everything together

Discover how Jesus meets us even when we feel lost or uncertain

Learn how to live into a story shaped by grace instead of fear

Luke 24:13–35 (The Road to Emmaus)
