He is Risen Now What

  1. The Question That Changes Everything

  • “Did it really happen—and does it change anything today?”

  1.  THE EVIDENCE — “This Really Happened”  

  • “People don’t die for what they know is a lie.”
  • Skeptics Turned Believers
  • “You don’t go from skeptic to Radical without a resurrection.”

  1.  THE REALITY — “He Is Alive Right Now”

  • Jesus Is Reigning
  • Ephesians 1:20–22  “He exercised this power in Christ by raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavens—far above every ruler and authority, power and dominion, and every title given, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he subjected everything under his feet and appointed him as head over everything for the church,”
  • Jesus Is Interceding
  • Romans 8:34  “Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is the one who died, but even more, has been raised; he also is at the right hand of God and intercedes for us.”
  • Jesus is Advocating
  • 1 John 2:1–2  “My little children, I am writing you these things so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ the righteous one. He himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world.”
  • Jesus Is Building His Church
  • Matthew 16:18  “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.”
  • Jesus Is Coming Again
  • Acts 1:9–11  “After he had said this, he was taken up as they were watching, and a cloud took him out of their sight. While he was going, they were gazing into heaven, and suddenly two men in white clothes stood by them. They said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up into heaven? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come in the same way that you have seen him going into heaven.””
  • “So the resurrection is not just something to examine… it’s someone to respond to.”
