Easter Sunday | Ryan Iverson | April 9 2023

00:00 Introduction 01:35 There are many different types of people here today… 02:15 There are those that consider themselves “spiritual” that know there is a higher power, but can’t say who it is. 03:40 Here is what I felt the Holy Spirit ask me, “Ryan, do they know what the resurrection means?” 05:40 What we are going to do today is look at a Scripture written by a man named Paul. 06:41 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 08:13 Paul is reminding them of the wonderful message, the Good News of Jesus Christ. 09:00 This death on the cross brought salvation to ANYONE who wants it. 09:53 1 Corinthians 15:5-8 10:32 There was eyewitness account… 12:15 There was no body to be found. 12:45 Multiple times Jesus would tell them he was going to rise from the dead and they did not believe it or understand him. 13:08 John 2:22 13:28 The disciples didn’t get it, but His enemies did… 13:42 Matthew 27:62-66 14:35 Mathew 28:11-15 14:50 Naturally, people argue that if Jesus’ body wasn’t in the tomb, then his followers must have moved it, making the resurrection into a hoax. 15:50 Why would so many people die for a lie about a resurrected Christ? 16:50 You are here because of the testimony that Jesus rose on the third day. 17:45 1 Corinthians 15:12-19 18:50 “…. And if being a Christian is of value to us only now in this life, we are the most miserable of creatures.” 20:30 1 Corinthians 15:32-33 21:00 We will never die! 23:00 FOR THOSE WHO ARE true followers of Christ? They will rise again. When Christ comes back all will rise again. There is life after death. 24:15 Revelations 21:1-7
25:25 This life means nothing without life after death! 26:30 Because of the resurrection of Jesus REMAIN STEADFAST. 
27:40 Because of the resurrection of Jesus BE IMMOVABLE. 29:35 Because of the resurrection always live a life that pleases God!
