The Day of Jesus’ Resurrection

Text: 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 This is the fourth in a series of lessons examining some great days in history – not in secular history, but days of spiritual importance. In this fourth lesson, we’re going to be discussing the day of Jesus’ resurrection. Without the resurrection, our faith in Christ would be worthless; but because of the resurrection, we have […]

Since Jesus Was Raised from the Dead, What Are We to Do?

Text: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 The resurrection of Christ is part of the foundation of the gospel. Many remember this on “Easter.” Yet this is not something to be limited to a man-made holy day. We should be mindful of this at all times. Through the resurrection of Christ, we have hope (1 Corinthians 15:20-22). But […]

Love

Text: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 In this chapter, Paul took a break from his discussion of spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12, 14) to discuss love.

The Death of Jesus

Text: Luke 23:44-47 The previous lesson discussed the life of Jesus – He perfectly fulfilled the Father’s will, even in His death. In this lesson, we will examine the death of Jesus and what we should learn from it. God’s Plan Part of His predetermined plan (Acts 2:23) – “Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” […]

The Priesthood of Christ

Text: Hebrews 3:1 The Hebrew writer called Jesus our high priest. The priesthood changed when the covenant changed (Hebrews 7:11-14). Under the new covenant, all Christians are priests (1 Peter 2:5, 9) and Jesus is our high priest (Hebrews 3:1). This lesson will examine the priesthood of Christ and how it affects us today. The Purpose […]
