Pastor Colin Smith explores the resurrection of Jesus Christ, as outlined in 1 Corinthians 15. This series underscores the transformative power of Jesus’ resurrection, locating it as the foundation of Christian faith and the ultimate source of hope. Pastor Colin draws a clear line between living with the mindset of a temporary, this-life-only existence and embracing the eternal hope found in Jesus. Through his sermons, he asserts that Jesus’ resurrection is not merely a doctrinal point but a reality that assures believers of their salvation, liberating them from past sins and empowering them for their current life in Christ. The series unfolds with an invitation to grasp the profound implications of Christ’s victory over death, urging believers to fix their eyes on Jesus, the resurrected Saviour, and to live with the hope of eternal life that it promises.
Throughout the series, Pastor Colin contrasts the working of grace through the life of believers with the tragic state of those yet to receive the gospel. He eloquently depicts how faith in a living Saviour is what sustains believers through life’s challenges—whether discouragements, failures, or losses—showing that the hope in Christ is sufficient even as it prepares one for a glorious future. Emphasising the individual’s response to this hope, he invites listeners to make a commitment to remain steadfast and continue in the Gospel, ensuring that their labour for Christ will not be in vain. These sermons are not just theological discourses but call to a practical, faith-living response that transforms daily living. By focusing on the resurrection’s power, Pastor Colin motivates listeners to live infusing their lives with meaning, driven by a hope that promises victory over sin and death.
