Title: Forever Changed

Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:50-52

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: June 19th 2016

We must be changed. Unless something happens to you between now and then, you will be unable to enter the Eternal State. The good news is that God will change believers for eternity. The point is, All who have believed in Jesus Christ will be changed for eternal life. Even though all saints will be changed for eternity, Paul’s focus is on the church in this passage, for the address is to brothers. The Spirit gives three ways how we who through faith in Christ make up his body will be changed for eternity.

Title: Second Adam from Above

Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:44b-49

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: June 12th 2016

In vv. 44b-49, the Holy Spirit wants us to understand how the risen Christ gloriously saves us by his grace for our future eternal life. It is not just that we will be saved for eternal bliss, but Jesus is the only one that can do this for us. How does Christ gloriously save us by his grace for our future eternal life? Paul gives three ways:
1.The risen Christ will bestow full Spiritual life (vv. 44-46).
2.The risen Christ will fit us for heavenly life (vv. 47-48).

Title: How are the dead Raised? Part 3

Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:35-44

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: June 5th 2016

 

Some in Corinth had denied the resurrection of the dead. In answer to the doubting questions of those who objected to Christian teaching, Paul shows that the same people who doubt the resurrection for its physical imponderables are those who accept in creation very near to the resurrection. He is urging us take God at his Word, and to do so especially concerning the resurrection.

Title: How are the dead Raised? Part 2

Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:35-49

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: May 29th 2016

We must take God at his Word concerning the resurrection. The two
questions Paul poses in v. 35 are given in the voice of a skeptic:
Nevertheless, Paul defends the resurrection against such doubt. Such
an apologetic both silences the hardened skeptic and strengthens the
confused saint. Paul gives four reasons for us to trust God.
Last week:
1. The God who will raise us is all-powerful (34b).
2. The skepticism that doubts God comes from foolish evil (35-36a)
3. God’s power in creation is analogous to our resurrection (36b-41)
a. We are raised after death as the seed is raised after death.
b. We are raised by God’s power as the plant from the seed.
This week
c. God is sovereign over the resurrection as he is the creation.
d. Earthly bodies differ, as ours then will from ours now.
e. Heavenly bodies are above earthly, as ours then will from ours now.
f. Heavenly bodies differ from each other, as we will then.
4. Jesus Christ’s resurrection teaches us what form our own resurrection will take (42-49).

Title: The Practical Christian Life (Without the Resurrection) Part 2

Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:29-34

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: May 15th 2016

Affirming the resurrection has great effects on our life as believers. The reality of our resurrection ought to effect profoundly the way you live your life. If you truly believe that the living Jesus Christ will raise your dead bodies, you will live differently than if you didn’t believe this. In our passage, Paul suggests three ways.

 

Last week:

  1. We Die in Baptism (v. 29)
  1. We Die in Ministry (vv. 30-31a)

 

This Week:

  1. We Die to Sin (vv. 31b-34a)

Title: The Practical Christian Life (Without the Resurrection)

Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:29-34

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: May 8, 2016

Some Christians complain about theology because they think it isn’t practical. Vital Christianity, however, knows that doctrine is very practical. This morning I hope that through this message you understand how the resurrection of Christ has great effects on Christian practice. The reality of our resurrection ought to effect profoundly the way you live your life. Paul gives three ways:
1. We Die in Baptism (v. 29)
2. We Die in Ministry (vv. 30-31a)
Next Week:
3. We Die to Sin (vv. 31b-34a)

Title: That God May Be All In All, Part 3

Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:23-28

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: May 1, 2016

In vv. 20-28, Paul offers positive arguments to affirm the resurrection of the dead. The fact that Jesus Christ is alive from the dead demands our resurrection and the making alive of all things. Jesus Christ is but the firstfruits of this promised future. The main point of vv. 23-28 is
the resolution of all creation is the glory of God in Christ and his resurrection. Paul gives three ways that God will do this, this sermon, Part 3, covers the final one.

Title: That God May Be All In All, Part 2

Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:23-28

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: April 24. 2016

The main idea in vv. 20-28 is that the resolution of all creation is the glory of God in Christ and his resurrection. The last clause of v. 28 makes this clear. The ultimate end of all history is that God may be all in all. The fall and death cannot be the final word. God will win, and he will win in human history. Paul gives three ways God will do this. This sermon covers the last two.

Title: That God May Be All In All, Part 1

Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:23-28

Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin

Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service

Date: April 17. 2016

In vv. 23-28, Paul explains how the resurrection of Christ is fundamental to our future hope as Christians and the end of all history. This victory is summed up in v. 28, That God may be all in all. This is where Paul’s argument is headed. The main point of these sermons is that the resolution of all creation is the glory of God in Christ and his resurrection. How is God going to work in creation through the resurrection to resolve all things to his glory?
