Crossties Service: Easter Sunday "The Bridge" 9 April 2023 FMC Hartselle

The Bridge 1 Corinthians 15:12-22 What we celebrate at Easter is unique. Something happened at a point in time in history that changes history forever.

The Resurrection is I______________ (1 Corinthians 15:3) “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures.” (1 Corinthians 15:4) “that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to Scriptures…” (1 Corinthians 15:22) “For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.” 3. The Resurrection is I_____________ (Hebrews 9:27) “Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11) “He has set eternity in the human heart.” (Acts 17:31) “For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed.
