1 Corinthians 15, 365 DAYS OF LOVE #114: MET TWO EGYPTIANS

PASSAGE: The Resurrection of Christ, The Resurrection of the Dead, The Resurrection Body

MEMORY VERSE: "He must become greater; I must become less." John 3:30

NOTES: (v.1) "Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I have preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain."
(v.10) "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me."
(v.17) "...if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins...20But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep."
(v.33) "Do not be misled: 'Bad company corrupts good character'"
(v.42) "So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body."
(v.50) "I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable."
(v.55) "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57BUT THANKS BE TO GOD! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
(v.58) "Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."

ACT OF LOVE: After service today, my friend Amy noticed two people we've never seen before, so we decided to go talk to them & make them feel more welcome! It turns out that they weren't all that new--they had been coming here for about TWO YEARS! They just always went to the mandarin service (WOAH..elderly-Egyptian couple in the Mandarin service? TIGHT). It was nice getting to know them...they are a very sweet couple :)
