A sermon that starts with urgency and doesn’t really let off the gas, Ray Hardee takes a swing at one of the biggest questions in faith: if Jesus is alive… what does that actually mean for everyday life? Anchored in 1 Corinthians 15, the message leans heavily into the idea that the resurrection isn’t just a belief—it’s backed by witnesses, history, and a claim that demands a response.

From the 500 people who reportedly saw the risen Jesus to Paul’s bold argument that everything falls apart if the resurrection isn’t real, the sermon builds a case that this isn’t just tradition—it’s truth that changes everything. But it doesn’t stay in the history lesson for long.

The real push? Stop treating faith like a “ticket to heaven” and start living like it actually matters right now.

Blending personal stories, big-picture theology, and a call to action, the message challenges listeners to move from just believing… to actually being alive—with purpose, connection, and urgency.

Whether that lands as inspiring or overwhelming… that’s up to the listener.
