This week, Pastor Brad reflects on 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul addresses the significance of the resurrection of Jesus, emphasizing that Jesus’s ongoing life is central to Christian faith. Paul stresses that the resurrection validates our faith, ensures salvation, and promises a bodily resurrection for believers, countering disbelief and false teachings. Pastor Brad encourages us to see death as not the end, recognize Jesus as the reigning Messiah, and remain steadfast in our faith to participate in God’s greater mission, with confidence that our efforts are not in vain.

Next steps: Consider how the reality of the resurrection shapes your understanding of life after death and how it influences your daily actions. How can you align your life more closely with the message of salvation and the greater mission it invites you into?
