Something extraordinary happened in the first century that transformed a small band of frightened followers into world-changers. Before there was a New Testament, before there were church buildings, before theological systems were developed - there was a simple message that turned the Roman world upside down.
Dr Tim Hudson takes us back to that foundational truth found in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4: "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day." This earliest Christian creed, dating to within weeks of the resurrection, became the catalyst for a movement that would change history forever.
What makes this remarkable is that for seventeen years after Christ's resurrection, not a single New Testament document had been written. Yet Acts 17:6 describes these early believers as "those who have turned the world upside down." They accomplished this with nothing but eyewitness testimony and an unshakable conviction about what they had experienced.
The sermon highlights two realities that transformed the early church: the suffering of the Savior and His resurrection. These weren't theoretical concepts - they were witnessed events that changed everything. When the disciples faced persecution and hardship, they could endure because they had seen their Lord suffer. When they encountered death and uncertainty, they stood firm because they knew Jesus was alive.
Dr Hudson contrasts impressive religious buildings like Westminster Abbey with the simple power of Christ's presence, reminding us that magnificent architecture means nothing without the Holy Spirit. The message builds to a powerful conclusion: whatever confusion, fear, or uncertainty we face today, the resurrection declares that Jesus is alive forevermore.
Has your faith become complicated with non-essentials? Have you lost sight of the simple, powerful truth that changed the world? Listen and rediscover the foundation that can transform everything - Jesus is alive!
