16-0327: The gospel is of first importance because it anchors our lives for eternity in Jesus. 1 Corinthians 15 begins by reminding us that God promised salvation from long ago, provided it in the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, and proved it when he raised Him from the grave on the third day. The resurrection changes everything. Pastor Lane offers four eternal blessings to persuade every person to put their faith in Jesus for eternal life. Each blessing is illustrated by a personal story from God’s work among LifePoint Church. May this powerful message be a blessing and encouragement for you. Sermon Manuscript
