The Unwasted Life

Tape 2406.01

Senior Pastor, Gene Getz

“So my question is: what does this story, this Jesus get me? What does it mean in relation to my getting up and going to work at 5:30 every morning? In relation to my computer crashing or my car breaking down?

Or to my brother getting laid off 10 months ago and still not finding a job? Or to my marriage? How does it all relate to the day-in-day-out of life? Why does it even matter?”

The Resurrection: An Eternal Perspective

A Powerful “One-Liner”!

If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men. 1 Corinthians 15:19

The True Gospel

1 Corinthians 15:1-8

• Christ died for our sins. 1 Corinthians 15:3
• Christ was buried. 1 Corinthians 15:4a
• Christ was raised on the third day. 1 Corinthians 15:4b

Incredible Validation

1 Corinthians 15:3-8

• According to the scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15:3,4 (see Isaiah 53:4,5 and Psalm 16:9,10)
• Numerous witnesses. 1 Corinthians 15:5-8

Logical Conclusions

1 Corinthians 15:12-19

• If there is no resurrection our faith is in vain.
• Christianity is just another religion without the resurrection.

Our Hope in Christ

1 Corinthians 15:51-57

• We have hope beyond the grave!

The Here and Now!

1 Corinthians 15:58

• “Stand firm.” 1 Corinthians 15:58a

Let nothing move us away from our faith.

• “Give yourselves fully to the work of the LORD.” 1 Corinthians 15:58b
