Easter is Not Just for Christians

A message of hope for a hope-starved world

Our “headline” message for the world (Acts 4:33)

A message everyone needs to hear!


WITHOUT EASTER, THERE IS LITTLE REASON FOR HOPE

“Scientism” says the only meaning in life is what we create for ourselves

Death casts a long, dark shadow over every aspect of our existence

We try to ignore death or grasp for straws to deal with it

THE BIBLE SAYS EASTER GIVES US A GREAT REASON FOR HOPE

What happened on Easter Sunday? (Luke 24:5-6a; 1 Corinthians 15:4-6)

Jesus’ resurrection impacts our lives in a variety of ways (Hebrews 2:15)

WE HAVE GOOD REASON TO BELIEVE THAT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS IS TRUE

We can’t prove Jesus’ resurrection happened, but it is the most plausible explanation

TWO COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID

Don’t reject the Easter message simply because you don’t want it to be true

Don’t be a perpetual procrastinator
