Experiencing Resurrection Power - Philippians 3:10

Guest Speakers: Matt Basinger

Easter is the most important holiday for believers. 1 Cor 15:13-15 says, But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise.

The Resurrection is a pillar of the faith. It is a day of rejoicing and triumph. Why is it then that the resurrection can be so easily overlooked? Often, we focus on the evidence of the resurrection. What are the proofs that Jesus actually rose from the dead?

Paul in Phil 3:10. Tells us he wants to know Him and the power of His resurrection. Know is the Greek word Ginosko. It is experiential knowledge. Paul is saying he wants to experience the Lord and the power of His resurrection. Paul isn't interested in just knowing facts and proofs. He wants to know what it means to experience the power of His resurrection. Can you say you have experienced it? How do you know?...

...Come and see.
