Without the historical reality of the resurrection, our faith is in vain and our preaching is empty. Exploring Paul’s defense in 1 Corinthians 15 and the joyous shock of the empty tomb in Matthew 28, this sermon establishes the factual foundation of our risen King. Because Jesus conquered the grave, we have the absolute assurance of our own future resurrection. We will see how His decisive victory over death is the bedrock of our living hope and the ultimate motivation for a life of faithful obedience to Him.

Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 15:12-20, Matthew 28:1-10

From Series: "The Conquering Christ"

From the empty tomb to the final throne, the victory of Jesus Christ changes everything. "The Conquering Christ" is a three-part series exploring the present reign and ultimate triumph of our Lord. We will begin by examining the historical reality of His resurrection—the factual bedrock of the Gospel and the source of our living hope. Next, we will explore the establishment of His kingdom, the Lord’s church, looking back to the Day of Pentecost to see how the early Christians responded to the Gospel and devoted themselves to faithful, unified fellowship. Finally, we will look to the horizon of eternity and the biblical reality of Judgment Day, an event that demands our daily repentance and uncompromising holiness. Together, this series is designed to ground us deeply in scriptural truth, equipping the church to face the future with the courage, purity, and profound confidence that comes from walking in faithful obedience to our Conquering King.
