Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. - “a standing up again”, “raise” - “raised to life again” John 11 - Jesus at Tomb of Lazarus “Your brother shall rise again” v. 23 “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day” v. 24 "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" v. 25-26 “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God” v. 27 - “a standing up again”, “raise” - “raised to life again” Acts 17:32 - “when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked…” Acts 26:8 “Why should it be thought incredible by you that God raises the dead ?” 1 Thess. 4:16 “…the dead in Christ shall rise first.” v. 1-11 = Bodily resurrection of Jesus v. 12-34 = Christ’s resurrection is Firstfruits v. 35-49 = Nature of the resurrected body v. 50-57 = Impact of the resurrection v. 58 = Resurrection brings fidelity Bodily Resurrection of Jesus - 1 Cor. 15:1-11 v. 3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, v. 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures Christ the FirstFruits 1 Cor. 15:12-34 “FirstFruits” “Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?” v. 12 v. 20 “But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.” Christ the FirstFruits 1 Cor. 15:12-34 “FirstFruits” Was Christ the first one raised from the dead? Elijah and Elisha raised a boy – 1 Ki. 17; 2 Ki. 4 Jesus raised some from the dead Many resurrected at death of Jesus – Matt. 27 Nature of the Body 1 Cor. 15:35-49 “But someone will say, "How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?“ v. 35 How are the dead raised ? What kind of body do they have ? Nature of the Body 1 Cor. 15:35-49 1 Corinthians 15:36-38 36 What you sow is not made alive unless it dies. 37 And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain--perhaps wheat or some other grain. 38 But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body. Nature of the Body 1 Cor. 15:35-49 Nature of the Body 1 Cor. 15:35-49 1 Corinthians 15:42-45 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. 43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. 44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. Impact of Resurrection 1 Cor. 15:50-57 “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.” v. 50 Impact of Resurrection 1 Cor. 15:50-57 1 Cor. 15:51-53 51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 1 Corinthians 15:54-55 54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory." 55 "O Death, where is your sting?" 1 Corinthians 15:56-57 56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Persevere in Fidelity 1 Cor. 15:58 1 Corinthians 15:58 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. Romans 6:3-6 “our old man was crucified” (6:6) united together in the likeness of His death (6:5) “we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection” (6:5) “raised with Him through faith” (Col. 2:12) “buried with Him through baptism” (6:4) 1 Pet. 3:21 “There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ” Hear Believe Repent Confess Baptized Faithful John 12:48 John 8:24 Luke 13:3 Matt. 10:32 Mark 16:16 Matt. 24:13 Radford church of Christ 2014 Budget 6% 1% 2% 4% 19% Benevolence Fellowship Worship & Education 68% Utilities Facilities and Operations Evangelism Evangelism Evangelism (Local) 25% 47% 28% Evangelism (USA) Evangelism (Abroad) Evangelism (Local) • • • • • John Croft Rudolph Shelburne Lectureships Gospel Meetings VBS Evangelism (USA) • • • • • • • • Student Preacher – Lane White Halls Harbor church of Christ (NC) Floyd church of Christ Rich Creek church of Christ Whiteville church of Christ (NC) Donnie Vick (Lighting the Fire) Virginia Christian Camp Horizons - FHU Evangelism (Abroad) • Philippines – Thomas Lazardo • Bear Valley Bible Institute – Keith Kasarjian • Ukraine - Vladimir Paziy • Ukraine School of Preaching • Guyana – David Paher • Ghana Mission Trip
