The Basic Gospel is what real Christianity is all about. It is about Jesus Christ, his death and resurrection and what that means to us. 

​

 

The Resurrection of Jesus

This is the basic fact of Christianity. It is taught throughout the Bible. It is prophesied in the Old Testament and related in the New Testament.

​

​

​

Evidence - human and physical

The tomb of Jesus was empty. This is a fact of history. There are two types of evidence to show this: human (eyewitnesses) and physical or forensic evidence. 

​

​

​

What the resurrection means

Jesus rose from the dead. How does that affect us now?

​

​

​

The Kingdom of God

Jesus will return to the earth to set up God's kingdom. The resurrection proves this.
