What If the Resurrection Is Just a Metaphor?

host Adriel Sanchez aired April 6, 2023

Episode 1200 Show Notes 

From the Show

There are some who have tried to spiritualize the message of the resurrection, but that has devastating consequences on our faith. It undermines the whole of the faith. That is what the Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15. Indeed, if the resurrection didn’t happen, that would mean our faith is empty, our preaching is in vain, we are are still dead in our sins, and everyone who has died is without hope. But Jesus has risen from the grave.

– Pastor Adriel Sanchez
What If the Resurrection Is Just a Metaphor?

  2. What does it mean that “love never fails” in 1 Corinthians 13?
  3. Do the Pharisees in Matthew 13 demonstrate that we have free will to deny Christ?
  4. Can Christianity still be true of the resurrection is a metaphor?
  5. How can I move from fear in hell to joy in Christ?
