This morning, Pastor Jermaine continued on with our 1 Corinthians series with Chapter 15:35 to end of Chapter 15.

This section of 1 Corinthians is all about the resurrection.

The Corinthians had let false teachings come into their churches and they were doubting the resurrection of Jesus and of the body. Paul passionately addresses these concerns, using the resurrection as the link between the present and the future.

Just like Jesus we will be resurrected into a new body, into a present and heavenly existence.

Pastor Jermaine made three major points:

1. There is a resurrection

Paul calls out the Corinthians for not using common sense, and uses the image of a seed to demonstrate the continuity between our present body and our future body.

2. There is a resurrected body

The body is both natural and spiritual. It is natural in its current age, but spiritual in the age to come.

3. The resurrected body/ state involves the body, and is a supernatural event performed by God.

Adam was life receiving whereas Jesus is life giving.
