The Resurrection Part 1 Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 27, 2011

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is at the very heart of Christianity. If there was no resurrection then there is no Christianity. Period. Want to know why it is so important? Paul's got that answer.

May Day Mayday

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 11, 2010

Our Resurrection

Contributed by Michael Trask on Apr 14, 2011

While our souls do indeed go to heaven when we die, this is by no means the end of it. The ultimate goal is the resurrection. This is what scripture teaches. Why has the church drifted from this teaching? This sermon seeks to answer that as well as

Sometimes, In these later years especially, I think that we Christians have spiritualized what we believe a little too much. What I mean when I say that is that we look at the promises of God only insofar as they have to do with our spirits, or our souls. For example, when you think of your ...read more
