1 Corinthians 15 (Part 3): 12-34 - The Importance of the Resurrection

What happens if the resurrection isn’t real? In 1 Corinthians 15:12–34, Pastor Paul explains why the resurrection of Jesus is not optional, but essential to the Christian faith. You’ll see how denying the resurrection empties the Gospel of its power, leaves sin unforgiven, and strips believers of real hope. Paul also shows how Christ’s resurrection guarantees our own, why Jesus is called the firstfruits, and how this truth shapes how we live, suffer, and stand firm in a confused world.

2 Samuel 20-22 - The Sword Continues to Devour

Why does sin keep leaving a trail of damage long after the moment has passed? Pastor Paul traces the continuing fallout of David’s earlier failures—from Sheba’s rebellion to Saul’s unresolved guilt—and shows how the “sword” keeps reappearing in different forms. These chapters reveal the cost of unchecked rebellion, the seriousness of broken vows, and the hope found in God’s faithful deliverance. You’ll see how the Lord rescues, restores, and teaches His people to walk in humility and praise, even while living with the consequences of past choices. This teaching invites you to seek wisdom, guard your heart, and cling to God as your rock and refuge.

In 1 Corinthians 15:3–11, Pastor Paul explores how the risen Christ transforms failures, skeptics, and even enemies into faithful servants. You’ll learn why Jesus appeared to witnesses like Peter, James, and Paul, how grace reshapes identity without erasing the past, and what it means to respond to God’s grace with obedience and purpose. This passage calls believers to stop receiving grace passively and begin walking it out in a life changed by the gospel.

2 Samuel 19 - Kingdom Minded

Why is it so easy to let personal priorities push God’s kingdom to the sidelines? As David returns to Jerusalem, Pastor Paul walks us through a series of revealing encounters that expose the difference between people driven by self-interest and those who genuinely seek the kingdom of God. You’ll see how Shimei, Mephibosheth, and Barzillai each respond to the king in strikingly different ways, and what their choices teach us about loyalty, repentance, and true devotion. This passage challenges us to examine our hearts and place God’s purposes ahead of our own so we can live fully kingdom-minded.

1 Corinthians 15 (Part 1): 1-11 - The Simple Gospel

Is the gospel really as simple as we’ve been told? In 1 Corinthians 15:1–11, Pastor Paul reminds us of the unchanging message that stands at the heart of the Christian faith. You’ll see why the gospel must be received, believed, and held fast, and how altering it empties it of saving power. Paul clearly lays out the core truth that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again according to the Scriptures, calling believers to stand firmly in this simple, life-saving message.
