“If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith…If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.”
1 Corinthians 15.13-14; 19

Living It Out This Week

The Resurrection of Jesus changes everything! This is the foundational truth of the New Testament. Nothing would matter if Jesus was still in the grave. We would have no hope if He died but never rose again. May these verses help you live in the reality that Jesus is alive!

Sunday-Mark 16.1-8: The “what” of the first Resurrection was pretty simple: the women come and find an empty tomb. How would you have reacted if you were them? Rejoice the grave could not hold Jesus.

Monday-1 Corinthians 15.1-11: The beginning of “why” the Resurrection matters. Notice the “proof” Paul provides for the event. Yet, it takes faith for us to truly believe in Jesus.

Tuesday-1 Corinthians 15.12-34: The “why” is continued in all of the chapter.Without the Resurrection we have no hope. We might as well just do whatever we want because life is meaningless. But, this is not true.

Wednesday-1 Corinthians 15.35-58: Because the Resurrection is truth we know one day all will be changed. We can press on and be faithful because Jesus gives us victory. How will you live in light of the Resurrection? Why do we need to be reminded of the resurrection?

Thursday-1 Peter 2.4-10: What stands out in these verses to you? Notice the identity we have in Christ because of the Resurrection. Jesus is our living and precious stone.

Friday-1 Peter 1.13-2.3: Spend some time praying that your life, and our church, would crave the pure milk of Christ and continue to taste and see that the Lord is good. Recount the goodness of Jesus in your life.

Saturday-Mark 1.8: Join us in worship tomorrow! Pray for our worship tomorrow. Pray that our eyes would see the Lord! Invite someone to church.
