S6E46: Raised from the Dead (Epiphany 2019)

Sermon #322

What does the resurrection of Jesus mean for Christians today?  For some, the idea of unexplained phenomena (ooften called "miracles") don't fit in with our 21st century scientific sendibility.  For others, it's just something to remember once a year at Easter (alongside eating the ears off chocolate bunnies).  But in the text from 1 Corinthians 15 we find Paul arguing that if we don't believe in the resurrection, our very faith is entirely hopeless.  In other words, the resurrection isn't just another thing to believe about Jesus, it is THE thing we MUST believe about Jesus, and we are going to look at the resurrection with a critical eye and determine if it is truly worth believing in.

1 Corinthians 15:12-20
