Trumpeting In Resurrection Eternity (1 Corinthians 15:51–58). When we die time stops, but when Christ returns on the last day our infinity begins. The power of sin forced upon us through the Law that kills our sinful flesh. Put no hope in the rotting corpse of this life, but give yourself fully to the Lord. #dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians

Resurrected Into New Adam (1 Corinthians 15:41–50). We are born into sin in our natural flesh as descendants of Adam, treading towards physical death from the day of birth and living in spiritual death because of sin. Through the gospel of the risen Christ we receive the life-giving Spirit who makes us into the image of the New Adam. #dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians

(1 Corinthians 15:30-40). We are willing to face dangers because we have more than mere human optimism. As Christ followers, our human body must be sowed in death for the splendor of the resurrected life to supersede the natural life. #dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians

Absolutely Resurrected Champion (1 Corinthians 15:12–29). Your faithful is worthless if it is not focused on the risen Christ. We have victory over all the death dealing power of this world because Christ is raised! So, in Christ our sin dead lives are resurrected. #dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians

Resurrection Gospel Primacy (1 Corinthians 15:1–11). We need to be reminded of the gospel preached to us which we receive, by which we stand and are saved: Christ died and was raised to fulfill the scripture promise. By this gospel we are called to be messengers to pass on what we received. . #dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians

Liturgy For Growing Disciples (1 Corinthians 14:26–40). When you come together to be built up in faith, being instructed and encouraged in the word of God is at the center. Prophets of God’s word are subject to the critique of the prophets and the Word of God. #dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians

Sign God Is Among You (1 Corinthians 14:13-25). We are to worship God both in the Spirit and in Truth. Do we say “Amen” to other’s thanksgiving? Sure sign God is working is when people are convicted of sin and turn towards God in worship. #dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians

Especially Prophesying Preaching (1 Corinthians 14:1–12). Desire the Spirit’s gifts, especially prophesying. One who prophesies speaks to strengthen, encourage, comfort and edify the Church. Prophesying proclamation is more necessary and important for the life of the Church. #dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians

Sin Soaked Love (1 Corinthians 13:1–13). Love is not an ephemeral concept or a disembodied notion of God. Paul is speaking about the cross-shaped, agape love which is characterized by the sacrifice for sin. This love makes us somebody in the Kingdom of God. #dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians
