Pastor Mike’s sermon centered on the central importance of the resurrection in Christian belief, as outlined in 1 Corinthians 15:1–58. He emphasized that the ancient world, including the province of Achaia, often held disbelief in the possibility of dead people rising back to life. Paul, the preacher, utilized this misconception to illustrate the significance of the resurrection within Christianity.

The resurrection of Jesus proves that believers serve a living Lord, not merely a historical figure or symbol. Pastor Mike highlighted that Jesus is alive and accessible, capable of hearing prayers and fostering a personal relationship with each believer.

Paul’s message in Corinthians emphasizes that Christ’s death and resurrection are foundational to the Gospel. The resurrection serves as proof of Jesus’ identity as the sin-bearing savior who conquered death. Through his resurrection, believers find assurance of forgiveness and the promise of eternal life.
