Anchor Church Philadelphia: A diverse community gathering for worship at the School of the Future in West Philly.

Paid in Full

Apr 5, 2026    Pastor Bernard

This Resurrection Sunday sermon explores the profound truth that through Christ's death and resurrection, our spiritual debt has been completely paid. Using the metaphor of a receipt as proof of payment, Pastor Bernard illustrates how believers possess a "Resurrection Day receipt" that demonstrates belonging, identity, and freedom in Christ. The message centers on Mary Magdalene's encounter with the risen Jesus, showing how Christ knows us by name and pursues us even in our darkest moments of grief and confusion. The sermon emphasizes that Christians don't need to keep trying to pay a debt that Jesus already settled when He declared "It is finished" on the cross. This receipt serves as evidence of God's completed work and our secure position in Him, providing freedom from the penalty of sin, the sting of death, and the burden of trying to earn salvation through our own efforts.
