The Text in Context
1. Doubt
2. Most to be Pitied
3. First Fruits
4. The Last Enemy
5. All Things Subjected
1. Memorize 1 Corinthians 15:26.
2. Recite this verse to yourself throughout this week.
3. Pray that God would help you trust in the truth of this verse.
1. Reference 1 Corinthians 15:14. Why is the resurrection so central to the Christian faith? What would be the implications for Christianity if the resurrection had not occurred?
2. In 1 Corinthians 15:20, Paul describes Christ as the "first fruits of those who have fallen asleep." What does this metaphor mean in the context of resurrection? How does Christ's resurrection serve as a promise or guarantee for the future resurrection of believers?
3. 1 Corinthians 15:21-22 contrasts Adam and Christ. How do Adam and Christ represent two different humanities? What does it mean to be "in Adam" versus "in Christ"?
4. What does 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 tell us about the ultimate purpose of Christ's reign? How should this future reality influence the way we live our lives today?
5. In Corinthians 15:26, Paul writes, "The last enemy to be destroyed is death." Do you think of death as an enemy? Why or why not? What other "enemies" do you think Paul is talking about in v. 25?
- Pray that StoneBridge's deacons ministry will continue to provide exceptional care, not only with continued, generous donations but also with volunteer support from our congregation.
- Pray that this year's golf tournament will be another success benefitting StoneBridge's community partner, Sarah's House.
- Pray that Gather25 will help solidify unity in Christ for Christians around the globe.
