Questions Regarding the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus

How long was Jesus in the heart of the earth, that is, his place of burial? And when was he resurrected? Why did the persecutors of Jesus not want to enter the Praetorium? How do these questions relate to the time of the Passover?

Can You Believe What the Bible Says About Jesus (Part 1)?

The New Testament makes some very strong claims about Jesus. That he was born of a virgin. That he worked many miracles. That he died by crucifixion, and was resurrected three days later. That he has the authority to forgive sins, and thus remove their penalty. That he was God in the flesh.

None of us has seen Jesus, but does that mean God wants us to have blind faith, faith without evidence? We’re told that Jesus offered convincing evidence to those who became apostles, commissioned to preach the gospel to the world. He did not expect them to believe he was who he said he was without evidence to back up his claims.

If we are to believe not by blind faith, but in accordance to supporting evidence available to us, what is the evidence? In this message, we discuss evidence available that the New Testament testimony concerning Jesus is a reliable foundation for faith in him as the Messiah promised in the prophesies of the Bible. This message, is part one of a two part series.

Jesus Fulfills Messianic Prophecies — Part 2

Jesus gave one preeminent sign that he is the Messiah (Matthew 12:39; Luke 11:29-30). How many who profess to be Christians believe the sign Jesus gave, or understand its significance for not only the generation of the first century, but for our day today? How many even know what the sign is? The answers may shock you.

In this message, we continue exploring the theme of Jesus as the prophesied Messiah, and how he fulfilled and will in the future fulfill the Bible’s Messianic prophecies.
