Scripture: I Cor. 15:12-19, 50-57
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

I.\u00a0\u00a0 THE MAIN EVENT \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cAfter more than 700 hours studying this subject and thoroughly investigating its foundation, I have come to the conclusion that the resurrection of JC is one of the most wicked, vicious, heartless hoaxes ever foisted on the mind of men, OR it is the most fantastic fact of history.\u201d<\/h4>\n

\n

\u201cWhy couldn\u2019t I refute Christianity? For a very simple reason: I am not able to explain away an event in history-the resurrection of Jesus Christ.\u201d Both from Josh McDowell<\/p>\n

\n

Consequences if not physical resurrection:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Christ would not be (risen<\/strong><\/span>). Verse 13<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Preaching would be (meaningless<\/strong><\/span>). Verse 14a<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Faith in Christ would be (worthless<\/strong><\/span>). Verse 14b<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 All those who represent Christ or witness of Him would considered (liars<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

II.\u00a0 THE GRAND FINALE \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

What do we know about heaven?<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Heaven will be a place of pure and endless (pleasures<\/strong><\/span>).\u00a0 \u201cIn His presence is fullness of joy; at His right hand are pleasures forevermore.\u201d Ps.16:11<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Heaven will be a place of unbridled (joy and fulfillment<\/strong><\/span>).\u00a0 \u201cAnd the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.\u201d Is.35:10<\/p>\n

Rev. 21:4-5<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 More of what we know about heaven:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The (Father<\/strong><\/span>) is there.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (Jesus Himself<\/strong><\/span>) will be seated at the right hand of the Father<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Many (brothers and sisters<\/strong><\/span>) in Christ will be there too.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Our names are (recorded there<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Our (citizenship<\/strong><\/span>) is in heaven.<\/p>\n
