Jesus, the Risen Savior

September 1, 2024

Topic: Faith

Book: Mark

In this sermon, Douglas Humphrey concludes the study of the Gospel of Mark by focusing on the resurrection of Jesus as described in Mark 16:1-8. This pivotal event is significant because it confirms our justification and assures us of new life in God. The resurrection is not just a historical fact but an ongoing reality with eternal significance.

Humphrey addresses common theories that try to discredit the resurrection—such as the Swoon Theory, Hallucination Theory, Imposter Theory, and others—emphasizing that these theories require more faith to believe than the resurrection itself, which has strong scriptural and historical support.
