Fusion: week of 5/19

FAMILY THEME: WHAT MAKES CHRISTIANITY UNIQUE?

1 Corinthians 15:1-19 ; Mark 1:14-20 ; John 21:25 ; 

Matthew 8:27 ; Romans 3:21-26

History declares Jesus lived, died and rose again, but we also

see the evidence in our own lives and in the lives of others.

1.  Christianity is Historically Testable

     (1 Corinthians 15:1-19)

     Historical evidence proves what Christianity declares;

     Jesus lived, died, and rose again on this earth.

 
2.  Christianity is News, Not Advice or Philosophy

     (Mark 1:14-20)

     Christianity has good news for all who will hear and

     receive it.

     

3.  Christianity is Based on the Life, Teachings, Death,

     and Resurrection of Jesus

     (John 21:25 ; Matthew 8:27)

     While other religions acknowledge Jesus was a man

     Who lived on earth, Christianity is the only one that

     requires a relationship with Him.

4.  The Christian Faith is Based Upon Grace, Not Works

     (Romans 3:21-26)

     Christianity is the only religion the offers grace and

     salvation, even though we don't deserve either.
