1 Corinthians 15:1-5

1 Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you — unless you believed in vain.

3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

Sermon Recap

Spend a few minutes reading 1 Corinthians 15:1-5 and recapping the sermon.

  1. The Big Idea in this week’s message is: The good news about King Jesus is the means by which God regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies human beings in relationship with himself.
  2. “The gospel” is good news about King Jesus and his Kingdom.
  3. The core components of the gospel include the life, death, burial, resurrection, and appearing of Jesus Christ.
  4. Flashilight Illustration: The contents of the gospel includes both big picture content (ie. Kingdom of God) and zoomed-in focus content (ie. The Cross & Resurrection).
  5. The gospel should not be reductionistic (only life/death/resurrection) but it also must include these important components in the context of the big picture.
