1 Corinthains 15:1-22

In this sermon on 1 Corinthians 15, Pastor Bruce Gordon reflects on the core teachings of the Apostle Paul regarding the resurrection of Christ, addressing the issues of false doctrines circulating in the Corinthian church. He emphasizes the importance of faith grounded in evidence, using scripture as a primary foundation to affirm Christ's death and resurrection, and as a rebuttal against skepticism. The pastor highlights the collective eyewitness accounts of the risen Christ, including those of Peter, James, and over 500 others, underscoring the authenticity of their testimonies. These witnesses, according to Pastor Gordon, endured hardships for their unwavering belief, which bolsters the validity of Christ’s resurrection. He further insists that the genuine proof of faith is not simply physical evidence, but rather a heart transformed by the love of God. Pastor Gordon calls the congregation to experience a deeper connection with Christ, urging believers and skeptics alike to embrace the love and personal relationship offered by Jesus, moving beyond mere head knowledge to heartfelt commitment. He concludes with an appeal for listeners to draw near to God, asserting that true belief in the resurrected Christ is the pathway to eternal joy and salvation.
