  <itunes:subtitle>Have you ever wondered whether the Easter story is real history or just a hopeful idea?

In this message from A Skeptic's Guide to Belief, Pastor Justin Jenkins teaches from 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul reminds a church full of questions about the message they first received. Whether you're skeptical, curious, or have believed for years without looking closely at why, explore the claim at the very center of Christianity, what history has to say about it, and why the answer matters for your life today and for eternity.

Scripture References:
1 Corinthians 15, verses 3–8 – Christ died, was buried, was raised, and appeared to many
Galatians 1, verse 23 – The former persecutor now preaches the faith
1 Corinthians 15, verses 14 and 17 – If Christ has not been raised, our faith is futile
1 Corinthians 15, verse 20 – Christ has indeed been raised, the firstfruits
1 Corinthians 15, verses 1–2 – The gospel we receive and take our stand on

  <itunes:subtitle>Why do you need faith in the first place?

In this message from A Skeptic’s Guide to Belief, Pastor Justin Jenkins teaches from 1 Peter 3:15–16. Science and progress have changed how we live, but questions about meaning, human worth, and eternity remain. Whether you’re skeptical of Christianity or have believed for years, explore why faith still makes sense and why our deepest longings may point to more than this world can offer.

Have we really outgrown our need for God?

This message will help you:
• Bring your real questions into the room with God
• Get clearer on what your hope is resting on
• Answer curiosity about your faith

Scripture References:
1 Peter 3, verses 15–16 – Explain your hope with gentleness and respect
1 Corinthians 15, verse 19 – Our hope in Christ reaches beyond this life
Genesis 1, verse 27 – Human beings are created in God’s image
Ecclesiastes 3, verse 11 – God places a sense of eternity within us
