Ep 188: What We Believe Part 4 | Resurrection

Right before the pandemic, in February of 2020, I took on the role of interim student ministries director at my church.

Then the world shut down.

I hosted seven weeks of group online, and I recorded a series of videos about the basics of our beliefs for my students to watch before our weekly meetings. These short video introductions to important Biblical subjects lay dormant for nearly five years, until I decided to turn them into episodes of my podcast. The original videos (edited, of course, to remove the boring logistical information), will be posted on YouTube. There you can see my beard and my hair grow longer each week until I look like a ridiculous clown.

Longtime listeners of the show will realize that some of my beliefs have been nuanced or changed in the last five years, but I still agree with the basic outline of each episode. I hope they benefit you!

New episodes will be released every other Thursday between January 30-April 24 2025.

Original show notes:

What Do We Believe? Week Four: Resurrection

Week Four in a seven-part series entitled “What Do We Believe”, based on Romans 1:1-5.

Paul declares in Romans 1:4 that Jesus was declared to be Son of God by the resurrection of the dead, but what does the term “resurrection” actually mean? This video explores the idea of resurrection and what it means for Jesus, Paul, and us.

Here are the three discussion questions from this week:

1. The resurrection of Jesus is the single most important Christian belief. Why do you think this is the case? What makes it so important?

2. If the resurrection really happened, how does it make our evangelism and our mission more significant?

3. How does belief in our future resurrection give us hope?
