Alive Again – What if?
by PastorSean
1 Corinthians 15: 12-22
#1. THERE IS ALWAYS A SEA OF IDEAS ABOUT HOW TO KNOW GOD. Acts 17
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. Ephesians 4:14-15 (NIV)
#2. TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS
The world without a resurrected Savior
- Meaningless PREACHING
- WORTHLESS Faith
- FALSE Witnesses
- Still DEAD in Sins
- No HOPE of Heaven
- Believers PITIED
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep. 1 Corinthians 15:20 (NIV)
The world with our Savior Alive Again!
- LIFE-CHANGING Truth
- ROCK-SOLID Faith
- Powerful GOSPEL
- We are FORGIVEN by Faith
- HOPE of a Better Future
- Believers ENVIED
#3. CHRIST OFFERS US THE CHANCE TO BE ALIVE AGAIN.
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” Romans 10:9-11 (NIV)
