“A Mystery Revealed” • 1st Corinthians 15:51-58 – Elder Bryce Lowrance.

After a brief review of the first 50 verses of the chapter, Elder Bryce preaches about the details of the Lord’s return at the end of time and the general resurrection of the dead. With a hope in the fact of the resurrection, we can continue on through life’s trials and troubles. In the gospel, we have the mystery of what will happen on that great day opened up to us. When we remember that message we are saved by hope. This message was preached on Sunday, October 29, 2023.

“Saved by Hope” • 1st Corinthians 15:1-50 – Elder Bryce Lowrance.

The Church at Corinth had some people teaching that there is not resurrection from the dead. This doctrine, as well as the false practices at Corinth, grew out of a disobedience to the teaching of the Apostle Paul. Paul uses a lengthy but profound argument that the teaching of the resurrection is vital because it is the very heart of the gospel. When we forget or do not believe in the resurrection, the fallen world around us, sin, and death will lead us into despair. However, if we remember the gospel, and its foundation in the resurrection, we will be saved from despair into hope!

Part 3 begins in verse 24.

“Charity – The Purpose of God’s Gifts” • 1st Corinthians Chapter 14 – Elder Bryce Lowrance.

After a brief review of the first verse of the chapter, Elder Bryce teaches that reason that God blessed the 1st Century Christians with miraculous gifts was so that they could help others. God still blesses His children today for the same reason. If we have been blessed by God with understanding, love, or any other gift of the Spirit, it is not so that we may brag about being one of God’s children. We have been given these gifts in order to be of benefit to others in our church and community.

Today's episode will pick up with the discussion of having proper zeal toward God beginning in 1st Corinthians 14:12.

“Follow After Charity.” •1st Corinthians 14:1 – Elder Bryce Lowrance.

“Love Is The Greatest Thing” • 1st Corinthians 13 – Elder Bryce Lowrance.

Charity is a fruit of the spirit. That means it is a gift from God. But, unlike the temporary miraculous gifts of the first century, charity was designed as an eternal gift. The miraculous gifts ended int the first century. During our lives now we have faith and hope to help us. We have charity to help others. And charity is the greatest because God is love and charity “will still live one in all eternity.”

Part 2 of the message begins in verse 5.
