Good Morning Friends,
Quote of the week:
After studying the historical origins of the Christian faith, I came to these conclusions: that Jesus died on the cross is as certain as anything historical can be; that he rose from the dead is by far the best explanation of the events surrounding his death; and that Jesus claimed to be God is the best explanation for the immediate Christian proclamation of Jesus’ deity. Putting it all together: Jesus claimed to be God, and he proved it by rising from the dead. The case for Christianity is powerful. Despite my ardent desire to believe in Islam, I had to admit that history was in favor of Christian claims, and even more reluctantly, that it challenged Islamic teachings. – Nabeel Qureshi

From Frank’s message:
Everyone you love will die. Everything you build will crumble. Everything you say will be forgotten. Everything you do will come to nothing. You and your identity will die and vanish, UNLESS…the resurrection is true. Yes, if Jesus of Nazareth really did rise from the dead–GAME OVER–Christianity is true! But wait…isn’t a miracle like the resurrection a little too hard to believe for a rational person? Join Frank during his recent talk at Grace Community Church @GraceSRQ in Sarasota, FL where he draws a striking parallel between the sinking of the Titanic and the resurrection of Jesus. You’ll learn why the Gospel accounts are not myths or legends, but credible eyewitness testimony that can stand up to scrutiny. Along the way, he answers pressing questions like:
- How do we know miracles like the resurrection are even possible and why are they so rare?
- What’s the greatest miracle in the Bible? (no, it’s not the resurrection!)
- Why are some atheists beginning to admit the evidence for Christianity’s greatest miracle?
- Do Bart Ehrman’s so-called “contradictions” in the Gospel accounts defeat Christianity?
- What does the Titanic have to do with the afterlife and the resurrection of Jesus?
- Why is it highly unlikely that the Jews invented the resurrection story?
- How do we know Hell is real?
There is an afterlife and what you do here on earth DOES matter. Not only for today, but also for eternity. The question remains for all of us: are you going up or are you going down? The choice is yours, choose wisely!
For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel. For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. – Gal 1:11-12
Blessings to you all
