When Christ Is Unable To Work!

Contributed by David Wilson on Oct 27, 2008

Christ is rejected by his own townspeople and Mark declares he could not do many miracles in Nazareth.

Mark 6:1-13 The first portion of our text deals with Jesus in his hometown of Nazareth. He came and preached in the synagogue and immediately people were offended.

Christ Is Risen - So What? Series

Contributed by Will Nunn on Apr 19, 2012

In 1 Corinthians 15:12-20, Pauls says what is not true if Jesus is not raised from the dead; since He has been raised from the dead, though, we can see why His Resurrection is still important - vitally important - to us today.
