The Rock of the Resurrection

In this Easter Sunday message, Pastor Matt explores 1 Corinthians 15:1-22, as we're reminded of the absolute centrality of Christ's resurrection to our faith. The passage emphasizes that without the resurrection, our faith would be futile and we would still be in our sins. But the good news is that Christ has indeed risen! This historical fact changes everything. We're challenged to consider whether we're 'in Adam' - bound for death and judgment, or 'in Christ' - destined for eternal life. The resurrection isn't just a past event; it's the guarantee of our own future resurrection and the defeat of death itself. As we reflect on this, we're called to examine the object of our faith. Are we trusting in Christ alone, or in our own efforts? This message urges us to place our hope fully in the risen Lord, finding comfort in His victory over death and the promise of eternal life for all who believe.
