"No Place He Won't Go" with Pastor Chad Stuart - April 4, 2026

April 8, 2026·22 min·2 clips

The resurrection proves no place, not even death, is beyond God's victorious entry and exit.

The episode is a sermon delivered by Pastor Chad Stuart at Spencerville Seventh-day Adventist Church on April 4, 2026. It begins with a personal anecdote about Stuart's childhood fear of going to the driveway at night, using this as a metaphor for mental, emotional, and spiritual places people avoid, such as difficult conversations or grief. Stuart transitions to a scriptural analysis, focusing on Psalm 139:7-11, where David questions if there is any place to flee from God's presence. He interprets these as genuine inquiries, not rhetorical, highlighting David's search for the edge of God's reach. The sermon then pivots to the Christian narrative of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. Stuart explains that the cross shows Jesus entered the darkest places, like the 'valley of the shadow of death' from Psalm 23 and the 'second death,' before humanity. He emphasizes that the resurrection proves no place, including death, is beyond God's ability to enter and leave victoriously. Midway, Stuart shares that congregants wrote words like 'fear' and 'disappointment' on prayer cards brought to a cross, linking these common struggles to Jesus' experience. He reiterates that God is not a distant observer but is 'with' us in affliction, citing Isaiah 63:9 and a quote from Ellen White about Christ bearing others' sorrows. The sermon concludes with practical applications: remembering the word 'with,' writing down one's burden with the note 'he has already been there,' and praying daily to trust God's presence. A closing prayer thanks God for the cross and resurrection as sources of salvation, hope, and everyday companionship. The episode ends with information on submitting prayer requests and accessing more church content.

As heard by us

A plainspoken resurrection sermon about how nothing can hide from God.

The sermon begins with a childhood fear of a dark driveway, then uses that memory to widen into a larger point: resurrection hope reaches the places where grief, fear, and self-disappointment try to settle.
