The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of Christian faith. Without it, our faith is futile. With it, everything changes—sins forgiven, death defeated, eternal hope secured.

The Ultimate Claim
No Middle Ground
Either Jesus Christ has been raised from the dead, or He hasn't. There is no "good teacher" Jesus if He's still in the grave.
Futile Faith?
If Christ is not risen, our preaching is empty, our faith is futile, and we're wasting our Sunday mornings.
Everything Changes
If Jesus is alive, our faith has meaning, sins can be forgiven, and death isn't the end.
The Implications of Unbelief
Vain Preaching
If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. (1 Cor 15:14)
False Testimony
We would be misrepresenting God, testifying He raised Christ when He did not. (1 Cor 15:15)
Unforgiven Sin
If Christ is not raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. (1 Cor 15:17)
Hopeless Grief
Those who have died in Christ have simply perished, and we are most to be pitied. (1 Cor 15:18-19)
