The Sure Hope Of Our Resurrection Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 6, 2022

Paul argues for the resurrection of the dead because Christ has been raised. He lists the implications of Christ not being raised and then of Christ being raised.

Last week we read how Paul reiterated the message of the Gospel and the certainty of Christ’s resurrection. • He has to re-emphasize that because among the Corinthians was a group of believers who denied the resurrection of the dead. • They were the arrogant troublemakers who were immature but ...read more

31. Romans Chapter 7 Verses 15-25 - Messages In Romans – Gentiles Are Not Part Of Chapter 7 – Not The Battle Of The Two Natures - Message 31 Part 3 Of 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 17, 2025
