Sermon notes
Long-Faced After Easter
Friday, April 17, 2026
Summary
In Luke 24, two disciples walked away from Jerusalem toward Emmaus downcast and heartbroken, even though Jesus had already risen from the dead. Pastor Dr. E. Dewey Smith Jr. emphasizes that while resurrection is an instant event, emotional and spiritual deliverance is often an ongoing process. By recognizing the danger of unhelpful conversations, removing spiritual cataracts caused by trauma, anchoring ourselves in Scripture, and surrendering to divine breaking, we can experience true healing and transform our downcast hearts into hearts on fire for God.Key Scriptures
