1st Corinthians (Jun-Aug 2019)
Paul wrote 2 letters (that we have) to the Corinthians. 29 chapters to one church - making it the longest book (if it were one) in the NT. What was the struggle? We conclude 1 Corinthians with a look at the solution to their issues.
1 Corinthians 15 concludes with Paul teaching on our own resurrection, which is made certain through the resurrection of Jesus. The last enemy to be defeated is death!
1 Corinthians 15 deals with the reality of the resurrection of the saints. But, before that can even be spoken of, there must first have been one all important resurrection to make all others possible. The resurrection of our Lord and Savior.
