The Resurrection of the Body & the Life Everlasting | Brian Sorgenfrei

Scripture Reference: Romans 8:18-25

The Apostles Creed ends by confessing what Christians believe about the future. In summary, God will finish what He started. He created a world to dwell with humanity as His image bearers. No matter, how much sin has infected and destroyed the world and humanity, God is going to save and restore it all. This Christian hope is embraced when we confess I believe in “the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting.”

Sermon Points:

  • The Resurrection of the Body

But there’s good news in his returning to judge that we’ll look at in the Apostles Creed.
