For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death (and resurrection) until He comes. (1 Corinthians 11.26 ESV amended)

Then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” (1 Corinthians 15.54 ESV)

How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come? (1 Corinthians 15.35 ESV)

What do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? (1 Corinthians 15.29)

Christ must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. (1 Corinthians 15.25)

The resurrection of Jesus Christ stands as the foundation of Christian faith, breaking the power of sin and death, transforming daily life with hope, and calling believers to a sacrificial, countercultural way of living in anticipation of God’s ultimate victory.

Paul didn’t clean himself up; grace overhauled him. “By the grace of God, I am what I am,” he says. This grace saved him, sanctified him, and empowered him. Scripture insists that every believer shares this pattern: God speaks, conviction strikes, faith rises, and grace reshapes.

Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures. He was buried. He was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. (1 Corinthians 15.3-4)

1 Corinthians 15 confronts us with a crucial question: What distinguishes saving faith from belief in vain?

I press on to make it my own because Christ Jesus has made me His own (Philippians 3.12-14)

Being in Christ and having Christ in us liberates us from guilt, allows us to know Jesus as our friend, empowers us with His strength, gives our lives significance, and frees us from the fear of death. (Philippians 3.1-11)

Two keys to the gospel are faith in the all sufficient atoning death of Jesus and a life changing experience with the indwelling Holy Spirit. (Philippians 3.1-11)

Rest in who God is creating you to be, but then let the Lord lead you just a bit outside (Philippians 2.19-30).

Shine like stars in a crooked generation by holding fast to the Word of Life

The apostle Paul encouraged the Christians in Philippi to work out their salvation, to put into practice who they were in Christ. But the reason they should and could work out their salvation is because God is at work in them, individually and corporately, to will and to work for His good pleasure. (Philippians 2.12-13)
