Title: Resurrection: Fact or Fiction?
Author: Scott Maze
Text: 1 Corinthians 15:1-9, 14
Dead people stay dead.1 "Nobody goes to funerals and says, 'What's the over/under if this person comes alive again?'" I have yet to see one dead person come back to life. I doubt you have seen any dead person live again, either. Once people have gone down the road of death, they just don't return.2 Easter is the celebration of a once-dead Savior who lives again. Plus, Christianity teaches that if He rose, all His followers will rise, too. So, if all of our experience tells us that dead people stay dead, what are we doing here this morning?
In the minutes ahead, I want to explore with you why we believe Jesus rose from the dead when experience tells us this isn't true.
If you have a Bible, please find 1 Corinthians 15 with me.
Communication Card
At the end of today's message, I will invite you to commit your life to Jesus Christ. I want everyone to have the "Communication Card" near you. You'll find one in the pew in front of you. Please keep that handy. I'll share with you some instructions about this a little later in the service.
If you're a skeptic, we are glad you are here. If you're an agnostic, we are glad you are here. If you're here only because your family expects you to come, we are glad you are here ?.
Quick Preview of Next Series
Many of you are first-time guests. Feel free to join us next Sunday for a new series entitled, "Hello, My Name is God." We'll explore what the Bible says God is really like. I hope you'll join us.
Either the resurrection happened or it didn't. If Jesus didn't really rise from the dead, Christians are wasting their time. In the minutes to come, I hope to give your family and friends something to talk about over Easter lunch tables.
