4:1 Therefore we must be wary that, while the promise of entering his rest remains open, none of you may seem to have come short of it. 4:2 For we had good news proclaimed to us just as they did. But the message they heard did them no good, since they did not join in with those who heard it in faith. 4:3 For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, “As I swore in my anger, ‘They will never enter my rest!‘” And yet God’s works were accomplished from the foundation of the world. 4:4 For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,” 4:5 but to repeat the text cited earlier: “They will never enter my rest!” 4:6 Therefore it remains for some to enter it, yet those to whom it was previously proclaimed did not enter because of disobedience. 4:7 So God again ordains a certain day, “Today,” speaking through David after so long a time, as in the words quoted before, “O, that today you would listen as he speaks! Do not harden your hearts.”
Hebrews 4:1-7 NET
4:12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the point of dividing soul from spirit, and joints from marrow; it is able to judge the desires and thoughts of the heart. 4:13 And no creature is hidden from God, but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must render an account.
Hebrews 4:12-13 NET

15:1 Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel that I preached to you, that you received and on which you stand, 15:2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message I preached to you - unless you believed in vain. 15:3 For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received - that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, 15:4 and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures, 15:5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 15:6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 15:7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 15:8 Last of all, as though to one born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also. 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been in vain. In fact, I worked harder than all of them - yet not I, but the grace of God with me. 15:11 Whether then it was I or they, this is the way we preach and this is the way you believed.
15:12 Now if Christ is being preached as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead? 15:13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
1 Corinthians 15:1-13
Christianity stands and falls over one central point: that Jesus rose from the dead.
Key Evidence #1: The empy tomb validates Christ’s claim of overcoming the greatest obstacle of life… death.
Key Evidence #2: Multiple eyewitnesses verified his living presence firsthand.
Key Evidence #3: Jesus not only has the power to rise from the dead but to also transform people’s lives!
This resurrection is proof of who Jesus is and that He did accomplish what He set out to do: provide the only means of redemption for human kind.

1 Corinthians 13
Key Ideas
- What defines the relationship you have with Jesus is whether you just know all about Him OR whether you experienced Him firsthand.
- How people experience a relationship with you is how they will initially experience a relationship with Jesus.
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.1 Corinthians 13:1
2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:2-3
What defines the relationship you have with Jesus is whether you just know all about Him OR whether you experienced Him firsthand.
4 (the) Love is patient, (the) love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 (the) Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 (the) Love never fails.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
How people experience a relationship with you is how they will initially experience a relationship with Jesus.
