Resurrection and the Demonstration of Victory (16 of 40)
Series: Emerge: Kingdom
Jesus Culture - Banning Liebscher
1 Corinthians 15


Why did Jesus rise from the dead? What is the significance of His resurrection - what does it mean for you?

The apostle Paul wrote, ''If Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless'' (1 Corinthians 15:17). That's a big deal! We need to understand the fullness of what Jesus did for us and the power of His resurrection. He paid a huge price so we could live in revival.

''He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died'' (1 CORINTHIANS 15:4-6) ...
