Changed By God To Make A Difference For God

The resurrection of Jesus is more than an oddity of history. It signals a turning point in history in which God has launched his new creation to reclaim is old fallen one from the grip of the dark powers and principalities. Jesus' resurrection is such a fantastic and mind-blowing event that from the very beginning many, including Jesus' own followers, have struggled to believe it's actually true. Today Fr. Maney begins a two-part series designed to show why we can believe that Jesus' resurrection really did occur and that God's promised new creation really has been launched. In this first part, Fr. Maney addresses common objections to the resurrection that have appeared in the form of competing theories. Next week he will present reasons why the NT teaching on the resurrection is trustworthy.
