The Resurrection of the Body - Part 2 (1 Corinthians 15:20-34)

Paul taught that man consists of three parts: the body, soul and spirit. Understanding this concept, aided by early Christian insights, can help us to appreciate the inner struggle we often experience. It disarms the popular Reformation teaching on “total depravity” and explains how even unbelievers can demonstrate noble character. In this message we also tackle

The Resurrection of the Body - Part 1 (1 Corinthians 15:1-19)

Some Christians in Corinth did not believe that their physical bodies would be raised from the dead in the end. After all, isn’t it just our souls that will be saved? In this chapter Paul turns his attention to correcting that foundational misunderstanding. (Warning: This teaching will likely disrupt what many believe today!) Teaching Notes

Psalm 49 - The Wise and the Foolish with Wealth

In His teaching and parables, Jesus had much to say about wealth: exposing its deception, limitations, and how His followers should understand and use it. But these were not new teachings! In Psalm 49, the psalmist cries out with a riddle regarding wealth. This psalm's wisdom and vivid imagery exposes wealth's folly, helping us use

Four Prophecies Fulfilled: the Resurrected Christ and Eternal King (Acts 2:30-32)

We have come to the powerful core of the message Peter preached on the day of Pentecost. Here Peter ties the resurrection of Jesus to four kingdom prophecies connected to an ancient promise made to David. Since these prophecies are alluded to (rather than directly quoted), most Christians miss the significance of Peter’s words. In

The Resurrection of Jesus (Easter 2021)

The entire Christian faith is based on the resurrection of Jesus from the grave on the third day. Either it happened or it did not. From the beginning, there were two competing explanations for the empty tomb, with each claiming a conspiracy by the other side. In evaluating the competing claims, we consider the powerful, logical argument made by early Christian writer Eusebius. We close by looking at implications of the resurrection: our hope of victory over death, and a demonstration of the incredible power of the Spirit.

Three Feasts that Matter (Exodus 23:10-19)

In the Law of Moses, all men are required each year to "appear before the Lord" during three annual Feasts: Unleavened Bread (or Passover), Harvest (or Pentecost), and Ingathering (or Tabernacles). All three play a significant role in the New Testament ministry of Jesus and the apostles.  Remarkably, these feasts, which God commands the Israelites
