Many areas of the Christian life are open to personal application, with freedom to differ. But there are other issues that are utterly non-negotiable. The Gospel of Jesus – his death for sinners and resurrection of victory over the dead – isn’t open to tweaking, and Paul wants everyone to know that.
In this message, Dru looks at seven reasons Paul gives why the resurrection matters. Without the resurrection, we have no life – none in eternity, and no true life now. Listen below to learn of how you can share in Christ’s resurrection.

Continuing with 1 Corinthians, Dru tackles the sometimes-confusing issue of speaking in tongues. After a historical overview of this spiritual gift, he looks at the motivating principles behind how speaking gifts are to be used in the church.
