The bodily glorified resurrection of Jesus was not an isolated event in history. Christ is the firstfruits of those who belong to Him, meaning we will share in a resurrection like His. As we wait for His coming, Christ must reign until all things are in subjection to Him, which is why we live lives of hope, trust, and prayer. And because Christ reigns, and we are in Christ and Christ is in us, we reign with Christ as agents of His rule on earth today. How do these truths change how we live? (1 Corinthians 15.20-28) May 4, 2025

The resurrection of Christ is good news! Through His resurrection, we are no longer in our sins, and we will share in a resurrection like His. But even more, we have hope in this life and hope in life eternal. This hope is so life changing that it causes us to live in such a way that looks “pitiful” to those who know not this hope. (1 Corinthians 15.12-20) April 27, 2025

On Easter Sunday, we take a moment to reflect on the three miracles of the Easter Story: the incarnation, the atoning death of Jesus on the cross, and the glorified resurrection of Jesus. Paul shares his story of how the miracles of the Easter Story radically transformed his life when Jesus appeared to him, when he was convicted of his sin, when he believed, and when he experienced the ongoing and transforming grace of God in his life. How does Paul’s testimony help us to give thanks to the Lord for His saving grace in our lives? (1 Corinthians 15.8-11) April 20, 2025
