    The Resurrection: The King Is Alive Series

    Contributed by Russ Barksdale on Apr 10, 2019
     | 6,686 views

    You ask me what is the most important feature or belief of the Christian faith, and I will say without a doubt, it is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Disprove it, and the entire belief system disintegrates.

    Is it law or faith, Moses or Abraham, curse or promise? The way of blessing must often be defended. Do you belong to Christ?

    When was the last time you had a big argument? Some of you may not be able to remember it, on the other hand, perhaps you had one on the way to church this morning.
