THE DEAD, DANGER AND DRUNKENESS 06/23/24
1 Corinthians 15:29-34 ESV “Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf?

1 Corinthians 15:19-28 If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.

REALITIES OF THE RESURRECTION 06/02/24
1 Corinthians 15:12-20 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.
