The Celebration Continues

The Folly of Following a Dead Man

April 21, 2024 • John Hunn • John 2:18–22, John 5:24, John 10:10, 1 Corinthians 15:1–19

The Resurrection Celebration Pt 4

The Folly of Following a Dead Man / I Corinthians 15:1-19

Christianity - Victory or Vanity?

Resurrection wasn’t something Jesus hoped for. Resurrection was something Jesus planned for / prepared for! Jesus predicted 4 Major Events that came to pass within 3 days of each other.

(1) His betrayal / denial

(2) His arrest / suffering

(3) His death

(4) His resurrection -

John 2:18-22 (The Sign)

John 5:24

John 10:10 (can’t offer what you don’t possess)

John 10:17-18 (crystal clear)

John 12:25-26 (Powerful and Personal)

(5) Oh and a 5th yet to be fulfilled - His return!

I. The Evidences of Resurrection - vv. 1-4

II. The Appearances of Resurrection - vv. 5-11

III. The Consequences of No Resurrection - vv. 12-19

Jesus still dead -

Preaching is worthless -

Faith is worthless -

False witnesses -

Still in sin -

Those passed have perished -

We are to be pitied -

Christianity w/out a risen Savior is like having a car w/out an engine (it won’t move); like having a flashlight w/out a battery (can’t shine); like having wood w/out fire (doesn’t warm). Christianity w/out a risen Savior is a waste of time, a waste of energy, a wasted life. Is the resurrection a HOPE or a Hoax?

Romans 10:9-10

April 28, 2024 • John Hunn • 1 Thessalonians 1

I. The Church @ Thessalonica - Acts 17:1-11 II. The 6 Marks of a Healthy Church (Based on the Test & Testimony) We must examine WHAT we do and WHY we do it! 1. The Work of Faith - WHAT/WHY We work because we believe 2. The Labor of Love - WHAT/WHY We labor because we love 3. The Endurance of Hope - WHAT/WHY We persevere because we have hope (A church that lacks work; labor or endurance is a church that lacks faith, hope, & love!) I Corinthians 13:13 (We Turn; We Serve; & We Wait!) II. Turning to God from idols - Serving the living and true God Waiting on His Son (1:10; 2:19; 3:11-13; 4:15-17; 5:23) a. The One coming from Heaven b. The One Whom He raised from the dead c. The One Who rescues us from the wrath to come
