Hello CVC!
Last week the topic of the message was on the resurrection. How you answer the question, “Did Christ rise again?” determines your personal belief system. If Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, Paul says that you should not live like a Christian.
This is why understanding why you believe what you believe is so important. Here is a list of resources that you can use to investigate the truth of the resurrection. If you believe in the resurrection, then use these resources to bolster your faith. If you do not yet believe, I invite you to investigate why you don’t believe, and God will reveal himself to you.
