Christianity makes an enormous claim: a dead man got back up. Instead of asking you to borrow somebody else’s faith, this message asks you to look at the evidence for yourself, including what sources outside the Bible can and cannot tell us about Jesus, His crucifixion, and the earliest Christian resurrection claim.

Apple PodcastsSpotify The question underneath the Easter story What evidence is there that Jesus rose? “Of first importance”: Christ died for our sins, was buried, was raised, and appeared to witnesses. 1 Corinthians 15:3-5 1. Jesus entered history The message points beyond the New Testament to Josephus, Tacitus, Pliny, Suetonius, and Lucian as references connected to Jesus and early Christianity. 2. Jesus was crucified Tacitus, a Roman historian critical of Christianity, connects Christus, Pontius Pilate, and execution. 3. Christians worshiped the crucified Jesus Pliny reports Christians singing to Christ “as to a god,” while the Alexamenos graffiti mocks worship of a crucified God. 4. Resurrection was proclaimed early Paul says he passed on what he had received. The resurrection claim is presented as early Christian proclamation, not a story added centuries later. 5. Named people claimed they saw Him Peter, the Twelve, more than 500, James, and Paul are named in 1 Corinthians 15:5-8. 6. Frightened followers became public witnesses The disciples move from fear and scattering to publicly proclaiming that God raised Jesus from the dead. History outside the New Testament Is there evidence for Jesus outside the Bible? Yes. The evidence for Jesus does not begin and end with the New Testament. Roman and Jewish historians who were not Christians wrote about Jesus, His crucifixion under Pontius Pilate, the movement that followed Him, the worship of Christ—and even His resurrection. That matters. These are historical witnesses outside Scripture, written by people who were not Christians. They give us historical evidence that can be examined alongside the testimony of the New Testament. History gives us evidence. We investigate that evidence, weigh it honestly, and decide what best explains it. So what evidence do we have for Jesus? What does Tacitus tell us? Tacitus was one of Rome's important historians—and he was certainly no Christian advocate. Writing around AD 116, he records that Christus suffered the “extreme penalty” during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of Pontius Pilate. That is significant independent testimony to the crucifixion. Anyone who argues that Jesus never died on the cross has a mountain of historical evidence to overcome. The crucifixion isn’t simply something Christians wrote in the Bible; a hostile Roman historian records Christ's execution under Pilate. What does Josephus tell us? Josephus was a first-century Jewish historian. Writing in Antiquities around AD 93–94, he describes Jesus as a wise man and doer of remarkable works, records His condemnation under Pilate, and writes that “he appeared to them alive again the third day.” Don’t miss that. Josephus includes the resurrection in his historical account. Those who deny the resurrection have this evidence to wrestle with. Those who receive the resurrection can stand on this evidence. The question is what you will do with it. What does Pliny the Younger tell us? Around AD 112, the Roman governor Pliny the Younger wrote to Emperor Trajan because he was dealing with Christians and wanted to know how Rome should handle them. In describing their practices, Pliny reports that Christians gathered on a fixed day and sang hymns to Christ “as to a god.” This is evidence from a Roman official that Christians were worshiping Jesus as God. Almost two thousand years later, we are still doing exactly that—we worship Jesus Christ as Lord. What does the Alexamenos Graffito show us? Someone in ancient Rome scratched a crude picture meant to ridicule a Christian named Alexamenos. It depicts a crucified figure with a donkey's head and Alexamenos standing before him in worship. The mocker meant it as an insult: Alexamenos worships his god. But look at what the mockery preserves. A Christian is pictured worshiping the crucified Christ, with his hand raised toward Him. What was intended as ridicule became historical evidence of Christian worship. They worshiped the crucified Christ then. We still lift our hands and worship Jesus today. Follow the evidence Tacitus. Josephus. Pliny. The Alexamenos Graffito. Different sources. Different perspectives. None of them Christian Scripture. Yet together they add to a historical case that cannot simply be waved away. And that is the point of Valid Faith. You don’t have to be afraid of the evidence. Investigate it. Ask hard questions. Follow it wherever it leads. The resurrection is not asking you to believe something without evidence. There is evidence. The question is what you will do with it. Further Study Read the historical sources and examine the evidence for yourself. Tacitus, Annals 15.44 Josephus, Antiquities 18 Pliny to Trajan Alexamenos Graffito What best explains it? This is not only history. This is the gospel. Jesus died for our sins. He was buried. He rose again. Because Jesus lives, forgiveness, new life, hope, and eternal life are real, and death does not get the final word. Confess Him Romans 10:9 connects confessing Jesus as Lord with believing that God raised Him from the dead. Take your next step Don’t leave wondering what comes next. Start a conversation and let someone walk with you. Live with Him Talk to Him. Follow Him. Trust Him. Walk with Him. Jesus is alive.

This message examines non-Christian historical references connected to Jesus, His crucifixion, and early Christian worship. Was the resurrection claim added much later? 1 Corinthians 15 presents Paul passing on a resurrection proclamation he had already received, placing the claim early in the Christian movement. Why does the resurrection matter personally? The message does not stop with evidence: if Jesus is alive, forgiveness, new life, hope, and eternal life become a personal invitation to respond.

One Thing: Who Are We? – Philippians 1:1–2 by Redemption Church

One Thing: Pursuing What Matters Most - Philippians 3:12-13 by Redemption Church

Daniel and his friends had already stood firm three times — over food, over prayer, over a fiery furnace. But this week, backbone means something different: telling the truth to the one person who could end his life with a single word.In this message from Daniel 4, we watch Daniel deliver hard news to King Nebuchadnezzar — and we ask a harder question of ourselves: who's the person in YOUR life you've been avoiding an honest conversation with? Your kid? Your boss? Your parent? Your spouse?We talk about the difference between cowardice disguised as wisdom, love that avoids conflict, and the kind of truth-telling that's actually generous — a "velvet hammer" that's soft in delivery but unmistakably firm in content.Because the truth that costs you something now might be the very thing that saves someone you love later.

A 90-foot gold statue. A command to bow. And three men who won't.Weeks one and two of Backbone: A Study in Daniel both ended well — nobody lost their life, everybody went home safe. This week, that pattern breaks. King Nebuchadnezzar orders his entire empire to bow to a golden statue of himself or be thrown into a blazing furnace. And this time, there's no guarantee it ends okay.Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refuse — not because they know how it'll end, but because they've decided who they answer to. Their answer to the king contains five words that may be the theological center of the whole book of Daniel: "but even if He doesn't."In this message, Pastor Cory unpacks:✅ Why real backbone is tested by uncertainty, not by guaranteed outcomes✅ How to hold conviction without losing Christlikeness✅ Why the miracle in the furnace isn't rescue — it's presence✅ What your kids actually inherit from you (hint: it's not your convictions)Backbone doesn't need a guaranteed rescue.

A king loses his mind. An empire starts executing its smartest people. And Daniel — who had nothing to do with any of it — has a death squad walking toward his door. This week in our series Backbone: A Study in Daniel, we watch the same quiet resolve that said no to a plate of royal food in chapter 1 get tested under something far heavier: a national panic with zero margin for error. Nebuchadnezzar demands his advisors tell him a dream he refuses to describe — and when they can't, he orders every wise man in Babylon put to death. Daniel included.But instead of panicking, Daniel does something nobody in his position would dare do. He asks for time. Then he goes home, gathers his friends, and prays.In this message, Pastor Cory unpacks:✅ Why our culture treats calm like apathy and panic like proof you care✅ Why "let me pray about it first" is one of the most backboned sentences available to you✅ What it means that backbone is downstream of dependence, not self-confidence✅ How to lead — as a parent, manager, or friend — without faking an answer you don't have yetPrayer isn't our last resort, it's our first response.

Check back here for both, or explore the message below. Download the Message Handout If you want to grow spiritually, stay connected to Jesus—and do not try to figure out every next step alone. Real spiritual growth is not just about learning more. It is about receiving life from Jesus, letting Him change you, and becoming someone who helps other people grow too. Your growth is Godward and outward. That means a good next question is not only, “What do I need from God?” It is also, “Who can help me grow—and who might God want me to help?” Why Do I Still Feel Stuck Spiritually? We have more information than ever: Google, YouTube, podcasts, books, AI. But information is not the same as direction. You can listen to a hundred people talk about faith, marriage, parenting, money, or purpose—and still feel unsure about what to do next. Most of us do not only need better information. We need real people: someone to encourage us, challenge us, pray for us, and help us take the next step. We have closed much of the information gap, but we have widened the relationship gap. Spiritual Growth Moves Godward and Outward “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5 NIV Godward: stay connected to Jesus You do not have to manufacture a better life by yourself. Stay connected to Jesus. Learn from Him. Trust Him. Talk honestly with Him. Let His words reshape your thinking. Let His grace meet you where you are. He is not just part of your growth plan. He is the source of life. Outward: let your growth bless someone else A healthy branch does not exist just to become a stronger branch. It bears fruit. What Jesus is producing in you should eventually bless somebody else. Your growth should not stop with you. You May Be Somebody Else's Fruit Think about the people who helped you. Somebody prayed for you. Somebody encouraged you. Somebody taught you. Somebody gave you an opportunity. Somebody believed you could become more. Somebody refused to give up on you. You may be somebody else's fruit. Their faithfulness to Jesus eventually touched your life. Now the question becomes: Who is growing because God has worked in me? Barnabas Became a Bridge Barnabas is one of the most powerful examples of this in Scripture. His real name was Joseph, but the apostles called him Barnabas, which means “son of encouragement” (Acts 4:36). Encouragement became so consistent in his life that it became part of his reputation. Then Saul came to Jerusalem. Before Saul became the Apostle Paul, people knew him as the man who had persecuted Christians. Even after Saul encountered Jesus, the believers were afraid to trust him. “But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles.” Acts 9:27 NIV Barnabas did not change Saul. Jesus changed Saul. Barnabas did not call Saul. Jesus called Saul. Barnabas did not give Saul his gifts. God did. But Barnabas became a bridge. Other people backed away. Barnabas stepped closer. He used his relationship, credibility, encouragement, and opportunity to help Saul move forward. He saw what Jesus was doing in Saul when others could only see Saul's past. Sometimes people can become an obstacle to someone else's next level. Barnabas chose to become a bridge instead. Pick Your Player Two 1. Who is a few steps ahead? Where do you want to grow—marriage, parenting, money, career, faith, leadership, life? Who do you know that is living with wisdom and character in that area? Ask them: “Can I learn from you?” You do not need to make it strange or overly formal. Invite them to coffee. Ask a question. Listen. Learn. 2. Who is a few steps behind? What have you already learned? What have you survived? What has God taught you? You do not have to be an expert. You just have to be willing to help. Maybe someone needs your encouragement, your listening ear, prayer, an introduction, an opportunity, or a reminder that their past is not the end of their story. Mature people use what they have to help somebody else grow. 3. Push Start Do not leave this as a good idea. Name the area where you want to grow. Name the person who is a few steps ahead. Name the person you might be able to help. Then start the conversation. Your next level may start with a text, a coffee, a prayer, or an invitation. Get Unstuck with the Free 21-Day Game Plan The Level Up 21-Day Game Plan is a simple, Scripture-centered guide to help you get unstuck, reconnect with Jesus, make your next move, and help someone else grow. It takes just 5–10 minutes a day. Request My Free Game Plan Explore the full Level Up series Frequently Asked Questions Can I grow spiritually by myself? Your relationship with Jesus is personal, but it was never meant to be isolated. We grow as we receive from Jesus and walk with people who encourage, challenge, and help us keep going. How do I find a Christian mentor? Choose one area where you want to grow. Look for someone whose character you respect. Start simply: ask them to coffee and say, “Can I learn from you?” Do I need a formal mentor? No. A formal program can help, but many of the best mentoring relationships begin with an ordinary conversation and consistent friendship. What if I do not feel qualified to help someone else? You do not have to know everything to help somebody with something. Share what you have learned. Pray. Encourage. Listen. Help them take one next step.

A wishbone hopes something will change. A backbone decides something will not change you.We're kicking off a brand new 6-week series through the book of Daniel called Backbone. This week we meet a teenager dragged into exile with no power, no home, and no say in his future — and we watch him make one quiet decision that changes everything.Daniel 1 isn't a story about lions or fire. It's a story about royal food — a compromise so normal, so tasty, so socially acceptable that refusing it would've made Daniel "the difficult one." And that's exactly why it's dangerous.In this message, Pastor Cory unpacks:✅ Why God handing Judah over to Babylon was discipline, not defeat✅ What it means that even Nebuchadnezzar was called "my servant" of God✅ Why Daniel and his friends were renamed — and why it mattered✅ How backbone is built in a hundred small, unseen choices long before the "lions' den" ever shows upNever let a wishbone grow where a backbone should.

You know something needs to change. You may even know your next move. But after a hard season, staying where you are can feel safer than trying again.

Make a move. The free LEVEL UP 21-Day Game Plan gives you Scripture, reflection, prayer, and one practical next step each day. Get the Free 21-Day Game Plan Promise vs. Possession There was more promise than possession. God's promise to Abraham and Israel was bigger than a single moment on a map. Scripture describes the promised territory from several angles — and Joshua was told to move into what God had placed in front of him. Genesis 15:18 “To your descendants I give this land…” The promise stretches from the Wadi of Egypt toward the Euphrates. Joshua 1:3–4 “I will give you every place where you set your foot…” Joshua is told to move into territory stretching from the wilderness and Lebanon toward the Euphrates and the Mediterranean. God had put more in front of them than they had actually walked in. Could there be more of God's calling, purpose, courage, obedience, and power available than I am presently walking in? The point isn't the geography. The point is the gap between PROMISE and POSSESSION. For Further Study Six passages that describe the boundaries Genesis 15:18–21 Wadi / River of Egypt to the Euphrates; the peoples of the land are named. Exodus 23:31 Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines; desert toward the Euphrates. Deuteronomy 1:7–8 Hill country, Arabah, lowlands, Negev, coast, Lebanon, and Euphrates. Deuteronomy 11:24 Wilderness to Lebanon; Euphrates toward the western sea. Joshua 1:3–4 Wilderness, Lebanon, Euphrates, land of the Hittites, and Mediterranean. Numbers 34:1–12 A detailed description of Canaan's allotted boundaries — a narrower, more specific boundary description. These passages describe the promise and the allotted land from different angles. The sermon uses them as a study trail, not as a modern political boundary claim. Promise of Power There may be more power available than I have walked in. Don't just TRY HARDER. DEPEND DEEPER. PRAY BEFORE YOU PUSH. MOVE WITH GOD, NOT JUST GRIT. Acts 1:8 Jesus tells His followers they will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on them, and that power will propel their witness outward. What Acts Shows Us Bold witness. People coming to faith. Healing. Deliverance. Transformed lives. Churches planted. Ordinary people empowered by God. Zechariah 4:6 “Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit.” The question Not whether you can manufacture a stronger version of yourself — but whether you will move with the presence and power God provides. JOSHUA 1 Three moves forward. You don’t need to possess the whole territory today. You need the next faithful move. 01 Move On Joshua 1:2: “Moses my servant is dead.” God is not finished. Stop letting yesterday make today's decisions. What do you need to leave behind? 02 Get Ready Joshua 1:2: “Get ready to cross the Jordan River.” Someday is not a day on the calendar. Prepare for the move you say you want. Getting ready is already movement. 03 Put Your Foot On It Joshua 1:3: “I will give you every place where you set your foot.” Send the text. Make the call. Apologize. Ask for prayer. Show up. Take one concrete step. “Be strong and courageous… for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” — Joshua 1:9 Quick Self-Check What’s keeping you here? Comfort Fear of People Habits Delay Sin Sometimes we’re not stuck because we don’t know what to do. We’re stuck because we keep saying someday. John 5:1–9 · The Pool of Bethesda Jesus doesn’t leave people stuck. In John 5, Jesus is in Jerusalem near the Pool of Bethesda, where many sick and disabled people gathered. Among them was a man who had been unable to walk for thirty-eight years. John 5:5–6 Jesus sees the man lying there, learns that he has been in that condition for a long time, and asks him a direct question: “Do you want to get well?” Grace doesn’t only meet us where we are. Grace gives us power to move. Why would Jesus ask that? Jesus is not mocking the man or questioning whether his suffering is real. He is confronting a life that has been defined by the same condition for decades. The man explains why nothing has changed: he has no one to help him into the pool, and someone else always gets there first. John 5:8–9 Jesus does not leave the man with only sympathy. He gives him a command: “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” The man gets up and walks. Joshua heard, “Get ready to cross.” The man at Bethesda heard, “Get up and walk.” In both stories, God meets people in a real situation and then calls them toward a next move.

How to Trust God Instead of Yourself – Proverbs 3:1-8 by Redemption Church

How to Begin Living Wisely – Proverbs 1:1-7 by Redemption Church

Jericho fell without Israel ever lifting a weapon. So why does tiny, insignificant Ai suddenly defeat them? In week 5 of our Uncharted series through the book of Joshua, Cory unpacks one of the most sobering chapters in the whole book — the story of Achan, hidden sin, and a nation that has to learn the hard way that God will not bless compromise.One man's secret sin in a tent. Thirty-six lives lost. And a truth that cuts against everything our culture tells us: private sin has public consequences.This message walks through the pattern sin always follows — see, want, take, hide — and asks a question worth sitting with: is there anything hidden in your life right now that's quietly costing you God's best? But this isn't a message meant to shame you. It's a message about what happens the moment hidden things come into the light: confession isn't the end of the story, it's the doorway back into the blessing that was there all along.

Is there something you know God is calling you to do — but you just haven't done it yet? A conversation you've been avoiding. A step you've been putting off. A river you can see but won't cross.In this message from our Uncharted: A Study in Joshua series, we look at two people in Joshua 2 and 3 who faced that exact moment — and what happened when they finally stepped in.Rahab had no safety net. The priests had no guarantee. But both of them stepped out in faith — and neither of them regretted it.The miracle doesn't come before the step. It comes after.Whatever your Jordan River is — this message is for you.

What if the greatest evangelist in your church isn't the person on stage? In John 4, the Samaritan woman encounters Jesus at a well and everything changes. She wasn't a pastor, theologian, missionary, or Bible scholar. She had a complicated past, a broken reputation, and more questions than answers. Yet after one encounter with Jesus, she became one of the first people in Scripture to bring an entire city to Christ. This powerful message from Pastor Byron Ellis explores how evangelism is not about having all the answers. It's about sharing what Jesus has done in your life. The Samaritan woman teaches us that God loves using ordinary people with imperfect stories to reach others with the Gospel. If you've ever felt unqualified, ashamed, or afraid to talk about your faith, this sermon will encourage you to take your next step in sharing Jesus with the people around you. Your testimony may be the bridge God uses to change someone else's eternity.

In this episode of The Image Podcast, Brandon explores a thought-provoking topic that emerged from a sermon by Pastor Rory: why does Jesus speak so strongly about protecting children? Drawing from the science behind Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Brandon unpacks the well-established connection between childhood trauma and long-term physical, emotional, and spiritual health outcomes. Through the lens of Matthew 18:6, this episode connects the words of Jesus with modern biology, neuroscience, and the lasting impact of childhood experiences.For more information about Redemption Church or The Image Podcast,visit redemptionwv.com.
