Out of the Shadow - Easter 2015
The Christian faith rises and falls on the reality of the resurrection. Paul writes, if Jesus did not rise from the grave our faith is useless, we are still in our sins. In this sermon series we drop into I Corinthians 15, the Bible's lengthiest section dedicated to the resurrection of Jesus, and discover what Jesus' resurrection means for those who follow Him.
