What is the power of the resurrection
and why is it important for Christians today?
This is a sermon given at the First Presbyterian Church in Petersburg, AK on April 27, 2014. The sermon explores topics of sin, fear, gospel, and the bodily resurrection. I give some reasons why I believe the disciples’ fears turned to joy when they saw that Jesus was resurrected bodily, and why this is the central piece of the apostles’ proclamation of the gospel.
