In this week’s sermon, Michael Newton takes us deep into 1 Corinthians 15 to explore the hope and reality of the resurrection. While many worldviews imagine an escape from the physical world, Paul paints a radically different picture: resurrection is not symbolic, metaphorical, or “spiritual only”—it is the completion of redemption itself.
Through Paul’s imagery of seeds, sowing, and the splendor of God’s design, Michael unpacks why the resurrection is not just a future event but a present anchor. Death, though brutal and unnatural, is not the final word. What is sown in weakness will be raised in power. What is sown in dishonor will be raised in glory.
This message speaks directly to those wrestling with loss, fear, weariness, or the slow decay we feel in a broken world. Paul’s conclusion is stunningly practical: because Jesus is alive, your life right now has meaning. Your prayers, your faithfulness, your obedience, your quiet endurance—none of it is wasted.
If resurrection is real, then nothing done in Christ’s name is ever in vain.
Listen in and be encouraged to stand firm, stay rooted, and live as a resurrection people shaped by an unshakeable hope.
