"The Case for Easter" study at First Baptist

The First Baptist Church of Ipswich is exploring “The Case for Easter” over the next four Sundays at 9 a.m. beginning on March 24.

They will study the bestselling book The Case for Easter by Lee Strobel. He retraced his spiritual journey from atheism to faith by showing how the evidence he obtained from experts in the field of history, archaeology, and ancient manuscripts led him to the verdict that Jesus truly was the Son of God.

In the four-week study for Easter, Strobel investigates the story surrounding the resurrection of Jesus Christ—and how we can know that it is true. Strobel examines how we can know the biblical accounts of Jesus’ resurrection are accurate by objectively looking at the evidence surrounding Jesus' death, the evidence of the empty tomb, and the evidence of the many witnesses who saw him alive after his crucifixion.

The Case for Easter invites participants to examine the evidence for themselves and consider whether the story of Jesus' resurrection makes sense. It will point them to the inescapable conclusion that led Lee from atheism to Christianity: Jesus was the Son of God who conquered the grave.

The study, during the church’s Sunday School hour at 9 a.m. in the church, 305 N. Main Street. The study is planned on March 24, 31, April 7 and 14. Anyone is welcome to attend.
