Resurrection Sunday: Nonsense?

Scripture: Luke 24:1-11, Mark 15:42-45, Psalm 22, Isaiah 53. Doubts about Jesus' resurrection? Are you a skeptic? Is it nonsense that can't be true or if you know a skeptic or one who doubts the resurrection story, everyone is invited to come along with us today as we take a look at the skeptics and doubters in the Bible and explore if they remained skeptics and unbelievers! Pastor explores several examples of doubters regarding Jesus' resurrection in the New Testament. He shares a list of individuals who did not believe in the resurrection at first. Then Pastor explores Alternative Explanations that have been suggested for what took place that morning:     ⁃    Multiple conspiracies     ⁃    Women went to the wrong tomb     ⁃    "Christ myth"     ⁃    Disciples lied        But all these alternative explanations fall by the wayside when carefully examined which leads us to the: Evidences     ⁃    Empty tomb     ⁃    Eyewitnesses     ⁃    Prophecies     ⁃    Bold martyrs The heart of the story of the resurrection of Jesus is the: Good News     ⁃    Consequences of sin = death     ⁃    Death is not the end     ⁃    God's gift is Christ     ⁃    Saving Faith - in the One who has risen from the grave, is alive and will return Being "good" doesn't save us Trying hard doesn't save us It's not that we're better than others IT'S PURELY A GIFT FROM GOD! Pastor shares a call to come to Jesus as your Savior. He leads us through a prayer of recommitment to Christ for believers and a prayer of commitment to Christ for first time believers.
