The Doctrine of the Resurrection is one of the most empowering, encouraging and vital doctrines of the Christian faith. How well do you know and understand it? Do you know its relevance in your life? Without the resurrection of Christ, the cross would be emptied of its power for our salvation and sanctification.
We invite you to join this 3-part class as we explore the doctrine of Christ’s resurrection and its implications for our lives through a close study of the Scriptures.
Session 1: Christ’s resurrection and Ours
Why is Christ known as the firstborn from the dead? What is the relationship between Christ’s resurrection and the New creation? We are both new creations now and one day in eternity. If so, how should this change the way we think about Christ and our time on earth?
Session 2: Christ’s resurrection and our sanctification
Often we think about justification as something that is done for us by grace, while sanctification is something that we have to do in our own strength. How does the death and resurrection of Jesus make our efforts to live holy lives actually possible, not pointless?
Session 3: Christ’s resurrection and our suffering
If we live long enough, we will suffer or we will know someone who is suffering. Often we think about suffering as a necessary evil that will one day go away, as we patiently await the final day where all tears and sorrows will become untrue. What if our union with Christ means that suffering is God’s gift to us? What if our suffering is not in spite of, but because of having been raised with Christ? What if we can enjoy our final glory provided that we suffer like and with our Saviour?
Come and be enriched and encouraged by a deep dive into the doctrine of Christ’s resurrection.
