I am really enjoying preparing my current message series. I enjoy explaining to people the historic evidences for the truth of Christianity. The literal and physical resurrection of Jesus is probably the most controversial of all of the Bible's claims. It is also the most significant, without the resurrection, there is NO Christianity! Fortunately for the believer, the resurrection is also one of the most historically reliable accounts we have in the Bible. In fact, amazingly it is one of the most verifiable historic events in all of antiquity.
It is unfortunate, that in a time when this kind of information would truly benefit the church's evangelism efforts, most modern believers have no idea that there faith has a reasonable, verifiable basis. They are left mumbling something like "we should believe with our heart and not our head." They know the words to thousands of "christian" pop tunes, but are left speechless when called upon for a reasoned explanation for the faith they claim to hold so dear.
"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." -Galileo Galilei
