Title: But in Fact Christ Has Been Raised
Passage: 1 Cor 15:20-22
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Sunday Morning Worship Service
Date: March 27, 2016
Paul says in v. 20: But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead. The assertion stands out like a great, single, solitary mountain on a landscape. After all the hypotheticals that littered the previous paragraph, this assertion is true and real. This morning, as we consider vv. 20-22, the point of this sermon is to see that the fact that Christ has been raised means that we will be raised. How does the resurrection of Christ demand our resurrection?

Title: If the Dead are Not Raised, Part 2
Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:11-19
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Morning Worship Service
Date: March 20, 2016
We looked at the first four consequences of denying the resurrection of the dead last week They all point to the main point of vv. 11-19, that the doctrine of a bodily resurrection is absolutely essential to the Christian faith. Paul has been slowly building a chain of consequences, one upon another. Today we look at the final three consequences of denying this doctrine.

Title: If the Dead are Not Raised, Part 1
Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:11-19
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Morning Worship Service
Date: March 13, 2016
Those who hold doctrinal error often do not realize the great doctrinal errors that flow out of that first initial error. By showing the consequences of a denial of the resurrection, the main point Paul makes is that the doctrine of a bodily resurrection is absolutely essential to the Christian faith. You cannot have Christianity without a bodily resurrection. We might ask why is this doctrine so important? Paul gives seven dreadful consequences of denying this doctrine.

Title: Tongues & the Benefits of Christian Worship, Part 2
Passage: 1 Corinthians 14: 6-9
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Morning Worship Service
Date: November 8, 2015
Beginning with v. 6 and all the way through v. 25, Paul begins to build upon the foundation laid in vv. 1-5. He further explains why tongues are unfitting for worship assemblies. The thesis for this sermon, which is the thesis for all of 14:6-19, comes from v. 6, and it is this: Christian worship ought to benefit believers through the ministry of God’s Word. Paul suggests four reasons for this:

Title: Christian Worship is Corporate, Part 2
Passage: 1 Corinthians 14: 1-6
Speaker: Pastor Ryan Martin
Service: Morning Worship Service
Date: November 1, 2015
The main idea in 1 Cor 14:1-5 is that Christians should use their gatherings to build up others for the glory of God. This point, of course, goes beyond the specifics of speaking in tongues or prophecy. The specific point Paul is teaching here is that prophesy is superior to tongues in Christian assemblies. But the general principle Paul is driving at behind that instruction is that our gatherings should build up believers. Christian worship is corporate, and ought to be handled that way.
