“Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?
Ans who told the ocean you can only come this far?
And who showed the moon where to hide ’til evening?
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?

Well, I know my Redeemer lives.
I know my Redeemer lives.
Let all creation testify,
Let this life within me cry,
I know my Redeemer lives.

The very same God that spins in orbit,
Runs to the weary, the worn and the weak,
And the same gentle hand that hold me when I’m broken
Will conquer death to bring me victory.

He lives to take away my shame.
And He lives, forever I’ll proclaim
That the pain that brought my sin
Was the precious life He gave
But now He’s alive and there’s an empty grave.”

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
