1 Corinthians 15:1-11 “The Gospel”

  By ,

When we say that we believe the ‘gospel,’ or we are ‘gospel’ centred, what do we really mean? And what does the bible mean when the word ‘gospel’ is used? It is easy to use a word like gospel often, without really taking hold of what it means and living in light of it. In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul reminds us of what the gospel is.

1 Corinthians 15:1-11 (ESV)

15 Now I would remind you, brothers,[a] of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

1 Corinthians 13 “The Love of the God in the Cross of Christ: Easter Part 1”

  By ,

The question of whether God really loves us is one that can press on our hearts in difficult times. This week we looked at 1 Corinthians 13, where Paul describes what love is really like. We looked at this chapter as a description of the love of God shown to us in Christ. The Text is read at about 16 min. The sermon starts at about the 23 min mark.

1 Corinthians 1:22-24 (ESV)

22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
