Introduction:
  • Paul makes the greatest Christian statement when he says, “I bring to you the good news.”
  • There are those who tell the truth without preaching the good news.
  • We must tell the world about the good news.
It Is Good News That Christ Died for Our Sins.
  • 1 Corinthians 15:3
  • Christ’s death is the first point of the Christian gospel.
It Is Good News That Christ Rose Again on the Third Day.
  • We don’t want to use the word death, but death is a reality.
  • Illustration: We can visit the grave of John Wesley, but there is no such place for Jesus.
It Is Good News That We Are Going to Live.
  • 1 Corinthians 15:55
Conclusion:
  • 1 Corinthians 15:58
  • Illustration: An article called “Why I quit the ministry” gives good reasons to give up, but if you believe the good news there is no reason to quit.
  • Illustration: The 12,000 members of First United Methodist Church in Houston could change the city if they got excited about the good news.
  • If we believe in a Christ who died, there isn’t anything we wouldn’t do for him.
