Genesis 2:18-25 | Marriage, part 1

April 16, 2012 – 8:31 pm

Genesis 2:18-25 records the first marriage between the first man and woman. Many overlook the significance of this first marriage. In this sermon we examine the significance of marriage.

1 Corinthians 15:12-19 | Why was Christ raised?

April 9, 2012 – 7:49 pm

Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:17 that “if Christ has not been raised, your faith if futile and you are still in your sins.” What is Paul saying?
