Yesterday’s Easter message was called Nothing Else Matters, taken from 1 Corinthians 15:12-20. The main idea of the message was: “If Christ is risen, nothing else matters. And if Christ is not risen — nothing else matters.” (quote from Jaroslav Pelikan) Here is a brief outline of the message:

I. If Christ is not risen …
A. Your faith is in vain (1 Corinthians 15:14,17)
B. Your hope is hopeless (1 Corinthians 15:18-19)
C. Your life lacks purpose (1 Corinthians 15:30-32)

II. If Christ is risen …
A. Material gain does not mater (Matthew 6:19-21)
B. Your trials do not compare to eternity (2 Corinthians 4:8-18)
C. To die in Christ is gain (Philippians 1:20-21)
