Chapter 15 begins with the vital importance of the resurrection of Christ Jesus. Our faith, preaching and life are contingent on the reality of His resurrection.

Numbers 22-24 share a miraculous story of a man overcome by greed and a desire for honor. Though he leads the people of Israel into sin, God takes the curse and turns it into a blessing. 

While the world seems to be falling into more chaos and disorder, God remains true to his character: he is the God of order, and that order brings peace. In this passage, we learn about God’s good design for the family and the church. As we live according to that design, we display God’s character and glorify him before the world.

Paul explains the gifts and shows the church of Corinth the order in which they are to operate. When the gifts are properly practiced, there is no confusion among God's people. For God does not bring confusion, but peace. 

Are tongues and prophecy for today? How should we think about them? In this sermon, we consider Paul’s encouragement to earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, including prophecy. The world needs the church to speak a prophetic word — and that word has not changed.

Many people celebrate the resurrection on Easter Sunday, but how does it apply to our lives? Why is the resurrection still relevant for the Christian right now? In this sermon we explore why it remains so important that we remember every day that He is risen.
