In the death and resurrection of Jesus, we find the very essence of our faith, the cornerstone of our hope, and the source…

I Am the Resurrection and the Life

Born once, die twice; Born twice, die once. We must compel neighbors to avoid the second death!

Paul has been addressing a hypothesis: Christ has not risen from the dead. That hypothesis leads to some difficult conclusions: Faith is vain or meaningless. See 1 Corinthians 15.14 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. Faith is vain or meaningless.…

My favorite movie of all time is “Amazing Grace.” It tells the story, in the distorted way that Hollywood does, about William Wilberforce the British statesmen, who spent his life trying to end the slavery in the British Empire. While the movie does major on Wilberforce’s solid faith in Jesus Christ,…

“Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

Theme: How do we live for God as exiles in this present evil age? 1 Peter 1:1 (ESV) 1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who are elect exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 1 Peter 1:17 (ESV) 17 And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according…

Resurrection Reality “Without the Resurrection Faith Is Futile” (OUR VICTORY OVER DEATH IS GUARANTEED) It would not be productive to look for help in a cemetery. A corpse can do only one thing—rot. This is the source of the crushing sorrow Jesus’ followers felt. He was the one in whom they had placed…

We have already discussed in this chapter the reality of the resurrection of Christ. Now remember what is behind this is that some among the Corinthians in the church at Corinth were denying bodily resurrection. That is a very serious error. Paul wants to affirm the reality of bodily, physical resurrection…

Restoration and Resurrection Intro This sermon series has been near and dear to my heart. We have one more week of this series before we take a break for Christmas and begin John in January.

Jesus uses this parable to convey the reversals of God’s kingdom. The rich man is defined by the quality of his clothes and the abundance of food.

Why the Resurrection 1 Corinthians 15:29-34 ; 49-58 . If the resurrection is not true- tomorrow and the future does not matter. We can live as we choose. But the resurrection is true.

Resurrection is the power of the Gospel message. Without Christ’s resurrection, there is no salvation. Without…

What was the resurrection of Jesus like? Do you wonder what happened inside that tomb when he was raised? Did his skin start to glow with power from within? How did the wrappings come off only to be folded in their place? Was there a sound associated to resurrection of Jesus? There are no human eyewitnesses…

Easter Sunday celebrates the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is hard to determine which is more important: Easter or Christmas? Without one, the other is meaningless. Both are critical to the Christian faith. If Jesus was not born of a virgin, he was not the Son of God. That is an…
