“Did It Really Happen?” in Niles
Did the resurrection really happen? Is it myth? Historical fiction, or reality? Join Pastor Justin for Examining the Evidence, a revealing examination of the greatest story ever told held in Niles at the Milton Township Hall, 32097 Betrand Street, November 14 and 15 at 6 and 7:15 p.m. Four hard hitting sessions Establishing the Text, Jesus of Faith and History, Messianic Prophecies, and The Resurrection’s Aftermath!
Presentation 1: (November 14 @ 6:00pm) – Establishing the Text
In this hour we will answer three crucial questions: “What is the Bible? Who is
Jesus? and Why does it matter? We will analyze the historical reliability,
development, and main themes, of the Bible, and more specifically the Gospels of
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, the historical biographies of Jesus Christ.
Presentation 2: (November 14: @ 7:15pm) – Jesus of Faith and History
The Gospel authors and others claimed to have seen Jesus post-resurrection. If
someone truly rose from the dead wouldn’t ancient history attest to this fact? Join
us as we analyze both biblical and secular history while discovering if the Jesus of
faith matches with the Jesus of history.
Presentation 3: (November 15 @ 6:00pm) – Messianic Prophecies
The Old Testament is hundreds of prophecies regarding the promised Messiah.
Were they fulfilled? We will be focusing on the books of Isaiah and Daniel to see
the man Jesus fulfill these ancient prophecies, as well as a time prophecy that
predicts the very year that the Messiah would be “Cut off” (crucified).
Presentation 4: (November 15 @ 7:15pm) – The Ressurection’s Aftermath
What was the aftermath of the story? Did the people believe it? There certainly
rumors and doubts regarding the body of Jesus even amongst His own inner
circle. Even the secular histories are full of different ideas of what caused such a
stir. In this hour we will examine the Biblical narrative, and feel the aftermath of
that miraculous event even today.
