The first christians didn't find faith any easier than we do. They were struggling with the same kinds of doubt that we often. These are not folks that are being held up as moral exemplars or spiritual super people. Instead, they have to be presented,. as jusson says, with the evidences of jesus resurrection. That's an invitation to faith in christ.
What kind of sermon did you hear today? In this episode of White Horse Inn, seasoned pastors Eric Landry, Justin Holcomb, and Bob Hiller are joined once again by apologist Doug Powell to discuss the essential elements of an Easter sermon—and describe some of the “misses” you might have experienced. This Easter, they hope you heard a sermon that was historical, preaching good news from outside of you; that was grounded in the Scriptures, showing Christ as the fulfillment of the Old Testament; that was applicable, demonstrating how Christ’s resurrection is for you; and that mirrored Christ’s loving accommodation for skeptics and doubters.
