RESURRECTION SETTLES IT! 12/15/19, Back to
school pt 12 1 Co 15:1-19 INTRO: The facts and
power of the R. What would life be like if our children
never grew up? Imagine changing diapers the rest of
your life or being asked a 1000 questions a day?
Paul wanted this baby church to grow up, mature and
become healthy. However they had a slow start.
Corinth: 200,000 pop, commercial center, deep
demonic entrenchment, Poseidon-Neptune Latin,
spirit of the sea, two ports, Aphrodite (Venus), 1000
female slaves, temple prostitutes, no charge to men,
if served Aphrodite. Immorality was a virtue. All
female dominated society. The ch was a young,
immature. They had no church heritage, experience,
they had come straight out of the world. They were
growing, developing, maturing in spiritual matters.
They were babies in everything.
PROP: The R of Jesus is the power of the Gospel
