2|15 As of First Importance
Notes
What is the one thing in Christianity that matters most? Paul doesn’t leave us guessing.
In week 2 of our series, we dive into the heart of the Gospel: Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, he was buried, he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures — and then appeared to many eyewitnesses.
This message cuts through distractions, hobby-horses, and side issues to remind us what’s truly central. We explore the Messiah who fixes what’s broken, the meaning of his death, the power of his resurrection, and the powerful proofs that make this good news believable.
Whether you’ve failed like Peter, doubted like Thomas, or never believed like James — the risen Jesus is for you.The Gospel isn’t just important. It’s of first importance. Everything else flows from here.
"For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles" (1 Co 15:3–7).
