Unbelievable?

A sermon on John 20:1–18

The resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth is at the heart of the Christian faith. No resurrection, no Christianity. Yet, many modern people find belief in the resurrection difficult. What should we make of the New Testament’s accounts of Jesus’s resurrection? Are they reliable? Is belief in the resurrection reasonable?

In this Easter Sunday 2024 sermon, Ryan looks at the account of Jesus’s resurrection recorded in the Gospel of John. This passage shows us three things about belief in the resurrection:

  1. Belief in the resurrection is difficult.
  2. Belief in the resurrection is reasonable.
  3. Belief in the resurrection is life-transforming.

This sermon was given on March 31, 2024, at Grace Bible Church in Escondido, California.

Ryan serves as a pastor at Grace Bible Church. His ministry ranges from preaching, teaching, and writing, to listening, being present, and walking with others through some of life’s most difficult experiences.

He lives with his wife and children in Escondido, California.
