Resurrection Matters

The resurrection of Jesus is the basis of the Christian faith. Paul seems to be clear that if we don’t or won’t or can’t believe this, then everything else about Christianity will start to unravel. We’ve begun preaching and reflecting on 1 Corinthians 15 – a long chapter in which Paul untangles the wonky ideas of the Corinthians and challenges us to think through the implications of the difference that resurrection makes in everyday living.

To think this through, I’ve attached some links to articles that might help you in your thinking – whether you’ve just begun to get your head around this, or whether you’ve been a believer for many years.

I am employed by church for a day a week, and my role is to keep an eye on the overall strategy of the church, have a major part to play in the teaching and preaching, and to tell good stories about what God has done with us to others. My other day job is with the London Institute of Contemporary Christianity. I work as a church consultant with a small group of churches (around 15 of them) scattered across the country, from the full range of denominations, thinking through with them how we can best develop churches that are able to nurture really positive, whole-life disciples of Jesus. I love it!
