AI: Artificial Intelligence. It may just be the latest and greatest
thing since... so, what do you know about it? More importantly,
what does it know about you? Hmm!
The gospels present a few transforming encounters between the
risen Christ Jesus and His followers. Let’s join them for a shoreline

- Who’s asking?
- Why 3 times?
- Let me see if I understand what you’re saying: What is the force of practicing transparency with God?

- The Empty Tomb
- Argument Against: the Body Was Stolen
Refutation:
- Disciples were surprised and skeptical
- There were guards around the tomb
- A large stone covered the doorway
- There was a Roman seal on the tomb
- People don’t die for a lie
- Argument Against: Jesus Never Actually Died
Refutation:
- Executioners always made sure the crucified person was dead (broken bones)
- Christ’s side was pierced
- Pilate allowed the body to be buried after the testimony of the centurion
- The events accompanying his burial would have killed Him
- It takes too much faith to believe He didn’t die
- The Post-Resurrection Appearances
- Argument Against: His Appearances Were Lies
Refutation:
- Jesus called His followers to truth
- After 3 decades not one follower refuted his story
- Argument Against: They Hallucinated
Refutation:
- Hallucinations are generally for individuals, not groups
- Hallucinations occur for long periods of time, then fade; Christ appeared for only 40 days
- Hallucinations are for high-strung people
- Psychologists conclude this could not be a hallucination
- The Changed Lives of His Followers
- The Difficulty of Disbelief
- The Reliability of the Gospels
- The Accuracy of the Historical & Geographical Records
- The Witness & Writings of Paul
- Benefits for Believers
- Our Guarantee
- Our Perfection
- Our Acceptance
- Our Victory
