Did Jesus Really Rise from the Dead - 1 Corinthians 15:1-11

Did Jesus Really Rise from the Dead? | Pastor James Drake

The resurrection of Jesus is not only the foundation of our faith — it is the source of our hope, our purpose, and our mission as the Christchurch family.

In this message, Pastor James Drake opens 1 Corinthians 15 and walks us through the truth that has changed everything: Jesus Christ is risen.

Through Scripture, historical evidence, fulfilled prophecy, and the testimony of transformed lives, we are reminded that the resurrection is not simply a doctrine we believe, but the living reality that shapes who we are as followers of Jesus.

Because the tomb is empty, our faith is secure, our sins are forgiven, and our future is held in Christ.

As a church family, this truth anchors our mission to help people find hope, healing, and new life in Jesus. The resurrection gives us confidence in suffering, peace in uncertainty, and boldness to share the Gospel with those around us.

This message will encourage you to:

* deepen your confidence in the truth of Scripture

* strengthen your faith in the risen Christ

* remember the power of grace to transform lives

* live with greater courage, purpose, and hope

* embrace your calling to be part of Christ’s mission in our city and beyond

At Christchurch, we believe the Gospel is not just good news for eternity, but good news for today.

May this message strengthen your walk with Jesus and remind you that because He lives, anything is possible.

We are grateful to grow in faith together as one church family, committed to loving God, loving people, and making Christ known.
