Paul tells us that the resurrection is foundational to the Gospel and our Christian faith.  "And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain." 1 Corinthians 15:14. So many aspects of our faith are dependent upon the resurrection of Jesus. This week we look at John chapter 20. As we discuss this pivotal event, we will look at it from the perspective of our belief. John would write, "But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." John 20:31 Join us, in person or online this Sunday, as we continue our series from the gospel of John - Believe.
