Old Testament Prophecy of Jesus
September 8, 2013
Randy McCarthy
Introduction: 1Cor 15:1-8
On the day that Jesus was raised from the dead, He began opening the understanding of his disciples to the OT scriptures which foretold the suffering, death, burial and resurrection of Christ (Luke 24:13-47).
Randy examined several prophecies in the writings of Moses (first five books of the OT) that demonstrate a suffering and triumphant Messiah, including the seed of the woman in Genesis 3, the offering of Isaac in Genesis 22 and the eight day festival of Passover (Exodus 12, Leviticus 23). With regard to the Passover, Jesus’s death was represented by the paschal lamb offered on the first day of the Passover feast and his glorified resurrection represented by the first fruits offering on the third day of the Passover feast (1 Cor 15:20).

Text: 2 Peter 1:11-21
2 Peter 1:19-21 (19) We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: (20) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. (21) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ
August 11, 2013
Randy McCarthy
In this sermon, Randy continues his discussion of the authenticity and reliability of the New Testament, and identifies four facts accepted by essentially all historians, secular and Christian, concerning the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Luke 24:13-35)
These facts are:
- Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb owned by a member of the Sanhedrin;
- The tomb was discovered to be empty by a group of women;
- Multiple people with different backgrounds claimed to have personally encountered the resurrected Jesus; and
- The gospel preached by the early Christians was absolutely contrary to the disciples’ own expectations concerning the Messiah.
The best explanation for these and other facts is that God raised Jesus from the dead exactly as described in the NT Scriptures.

Authenticity of the New Testament

Subject: (Introduction) – The Holiness of Jesus
Text: 1Timothy 4:16
Randy McCarthy
Subject: The Authenticity and Reliability of the New Testament.
Randy cites to the early Christian creed in 1 Cor 15:1-8 and the writings of several secular historians and church fathers that confirm the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. From these and other evidences it is conclusive that the New Testament books we have today were written before the close of the first century AD and accurately reflect real events that took place exactly as described in the Bible. Statements by scoffers today that Jesus probably didn’t ever live at all, and that the NT books were written hundreds of years later, are absolutely false and cannot be reasonably supported by the overwhelming evidence that proves otherwise.
