Week 1: The Foundation of the Faith1 Corinthians 15:1–11Pastor Vincent SantanelliLincoln UMCApril 12, 2024

We’ve all heard the "Easter Story," but is it actually true?

In a world of "fake news" and shifting opinions, we’re looking for ground we can actually stand on. This Sunday, we’re starting a new, 6-week series: Unshakable Hope.

We’re diving into 1 Corinthians 15 to discover why the earliest Christians called the Resurrection "Breaking News," not ancient mythology. We’re talking about:
✅ Why the evidence points to a literal event.
✅ Why a "metaphorical" resurrection isn't enough to save us.
✅ How a 2,000-year-old event can change your life today.

Don't settle for "nice feelings." Come find the truth.

Starting Sunday, April 12th @ 10am @ the Lincoln UMC, 629 "I" St., Lincoln CA.

Unshakable Hope Series Outline

Week 1: The Foundation of the Faith

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:1–11
The Big Idea: The gospel is not a philosophy but a historical event rooted in the bodily resurrection of Jesus.

Week 2: The Stakes of the Resurrection

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:12–19
The Big Idea: If Christ is not raised, our faith is a tragedy; because He is raised, our faith is a triumph.

Week 3: The First-fruits of the New Creation

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:20–28
The Big Idea: Jesus’ resurrection is the "first fruits" that guarantees the harvest of all who belong to Him.

Week 4: Living in Light of the End

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:29–34
The Big Idea: Our belief in the future resurrection dictates our ethics and endurance today.

Week 5: The Mystery of the Resurrection Body

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:35–49
The Big Idea: Our future bodies will be as different from our current bodies as a flower is from a seed.

Week 6: The Final Victory

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:50–58
The Big Idea: The "sting of death" has been removed, giving us the strength to remain steadfast in our work for the Lord.
