If Christ has not been raised our proclamation is without foundation (1 Cor 15:14). If Jesus did not rise from the dead, the Christian faith is worthless (1 Cor 15:17)
When some were doubting the resurrection of the dead, Paul reminds the members of the church in Corinth that he founded about the facts:
Christ died for our sins -- according to the Scriptures. Christ was buried. Christ was raised on the third day -- according to the Scriptures.
And, Christ appeared to many witnesses: Peter, the Twelve, over 500 at the same time, James (his formerly skeptical half-brother) and Paul (the former persecutor) last of all.
Paul uses both subjective and objective evidence to address their doubts. And after considering the objective historical evidence that modern scholars of all stripes agree upon, the best explanation of the "minimal facts" is that Christ indeed was raised from the dead.
Many reject this not only because this would turn their world(view) upside down, but also because many are prejudiced against miracles.
Yet, if God created this incredibly vast, incredibly complex universe out of nothing, raising one person from the dead is small potatoes.
This world is ever-changing, but the facts of what Christ did on the cross are never changing. On Christ the Solid Rock let's stand; all other ground is sinking sand.

Since some in the Corinthian church had doubts about a bodily resurrection, Paul reminds those in the church he founded about the basic facts of the faith:
Christ died for our sins -- according to the Scriptures. Christ was buried. Christ was raised on the third day -- according to the Scriptures. And, Christ appeared to many witnesses.
Quoting what is likely the earliest Christian creed we have to date, the apostle emphasizes the factual foundation of the Christian faith.
Due to time constraints, we paused at 1 Cor 15:4 and planned to finish up to 1 Cor 15:8 next Wednesday

Mark 2:1-12 Bible Study (edited) live stream recording from a lesson shared on 9.30.20. Click here for the video of and slideshow for this Bible Study. Click here for more Bible Studies. And, click here for more sermons, commentaries, etc.
Imagine going to a physician for treatment and the doctor starts talking to you about your sins!
When Jesus heals the paralyzed man in Capernaum, He once again demonstrates His authority -- the authority to even forgive sin.
Seeing true faith -- faith that manifests itself in action, in spite of difficulties -- Jesus, the prophesied Son of Man from Daniel 7:13-14 (cf. Mk 14:61-62), does what only God can do.
The religious leaders present consider Christ's claim to forgive sin to be blasphemy. But Jesus provides eye-opening evidence of His divine authority and of the prophesied Kingdom of God He inaugurated.
Just as Jesus healed the man from His physical paralysis and freed him from his mat, He can heal us from our spiritual paralysis and free us from our sin.

Some of the last words the Apostle Paul ever wrote charge the younger and more timid Timothy to preach the word -- always being ready -- and to fulfill his ministry before God the Father and Jesus the Coming Judge and King.
Since false teachers had infiltrated the church in Ephesus, scratching the itch of those who wanted their ears tickled with something new, Paul commands Timothy to correct, rebuke, encourage with great forbearance and thorough instruction.
Timothy must also endure hardship and do the work of an evangelist, spreading the Gospel to nonbelievers.
He must preach the word, teach the word, and reach the world -- as should we.

The Gospel is always good seed. But it doesn't always fall on good ground. The question is, what kind of soil are we?
In the Parable of the Sower (a.k.a. the Parable of the Four Soils), Jesus explains four different reactions to His message: (1) Hard-Hearted Hearers, (2) Fairweather "Fans", (3) Backburner "Believers", and (4) Fruitful Followers

After the miraculous catch of fish, Jesus calls Peter and the others to (metaphorically) catch people -- that they also may follow Christ. In response to the grace of Christ, let’s respond with faith in Christ. Since we’ve been caught by God’s amazing grace, let’s seek to catch others -- with God’s amazing guidance.
