Trinity Grace Church

The Apostle Paul brings this wonderful letter to a close by encouraging the church to stand firm in the faith once delivered by looking toward our future hope that has been secured by the person and work of Jesus Christ.

Paul glories in Christ and in glory!

What a hope believers have to look forward to!  

Christianity is not Christianity apart from the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus - it all hinges on this! 

Paul not only sets up his answer for those who doubt a resurrection of the dead, he also encourages those in the Corinthian church and those of us today who have been struggling.  He does both by reminding them and us of what is of first importance...the Gospel! 

Paul brings a corrective to the Church in Corinth instructing them that God Himslef informs us as to how we are to worship Him.  

The Apostle Paul calls the church to a proper view of the gifts of tongues by giving the church a proper view of the church: The Church is Not an Individual Experience; The Church Builds Up Believers; and The Church Reaches Unbelievers.

Paul calls us to love one another with a gospel love - with the love with which God has loved us; in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  

Paul calls the church to use their gifts, given by the Spirit, for the glory of God and for the good of the people.  And a proper understanding of those gifts must come with a proper understanding of "Jesus is Lord." 

The Lord's Supper is a wonderful gift that the Lord has given to His church.  When we come to the Lord's Table, though the bread remains bread, and the wine remains wine, nevertheless, we feed on Christ because Christ is spiritually present in the Supper.
