I Am the Resurrection and the Life

March 31st, 2024

Pastor Steve Barker's sermon at Hope Community Church, Cumberland Beach, Ontario

Resurrection:

Christ’s resurrection is the foundational event for the Christians. The Apostle Paul goes so far as to say that if Christ did not rise, then the Christian faith is futile and Christians are to be pitied more than all others (1 Cor. 15:17-19). Resurrection’s climaxing position in all four Gospel narratives yields the same understanding. Christ came not merely to die, as some claim, but to conquer death.
