Sermon Summary: This sermon explores the reliability of the Gospels and the historical evidence for Christianity. Pastor Jody argues that the most probable explanation for the rapid spread of Christianity is the reality of Jesus' miracles and resurrection. He challenges listeners to examine the evidence for themselves, emphasizing that Christianity's truth is not dependent on personal experience or perceptions of fairness, but on historical facts and eyewitness accounts.

Key Points: - Evidence should be examined based on probability, not just possibility - There's a common prejudice against the supernatural in evaluating biblical accounts - The early Christian movement grew due to miracles and the resurrection, not just teachings - The Gospels were circulated when eyewitnesses were still alive to verify their accounts - Christianity differs from other religions in its basis on eyewitness testimony of supernatural events - Jesus' claim to be the exclusive way to God may seem unfair but should be evaluated based on truth - Christianity is fair in that it welcomes everyone and offers salvation on equal terms

Scripture Reference: John 14:6 - "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
