Easter – The Beginning and End of Death – 1 Corinthians 15:20-28; 35-58
This passage is a history of the human race. It spans from the very beginning, to the very end; past, present, and future; and though it’s brief it captures the lowest and highest points of human history; it captures the greatest tragedy, and the greatest triumph, ever known.

We should not be surprised when the same thing happens in our culture today, or when the gospel challenges the idols of our own hearts.

Acts 18:1-17
Paul is confident to carry out his calling to preach Jesus in Corinth because of the promise he receives of divine protection, and the assurance he receives of divine election. He knows, as can we, that through the words of Jesus’ messengers, the Good Shepherd calls out to his own sheep; and though our words are imperfect and inadequate, His voice – the voice of the Good Shepherd – rings out loud and clear through our dull words; His sheep hear…
