Rev. Anthony Trufant
1 Corinthians 15:1-11
“Your Reservations About the Resurrection”
- Paul was the primary Christian church builder.
- Paul wrote the letters to help the various communities think through accurately their faith.
- In matters of faith we tend to suspend reason and listen to authorities. God has not called me to tell you what to think but how to think for yourself through Scripture.
- Some of us have a superficial view of faith; it’s all about how we feel.
- We don’t come to church to find God but to worship God.
- There are some who said you can’t trust Paul’s gospel because you can’t trust Paul.
- We need to know what people believe. If they love God so much, tell me! Or you believe in God so much, you exclude people who God wants, as well as treating women as a second-class citizen.
- The church of Corinth mirrors our experience.
- if you have difficulty with the resurrection, you have issues with Jesus (v2).
- The Christian faith has always been subversive and corrective to society.
- The problem for many of us is that we really don’t want to think.
- How do we know what Paul is saying is truthful? Because the community around Paul was the same as in Africa. There was a tremendous oral tradition.
- The Scriptures enhance our ability to hear God.
- Read Iaiah 53:1-7.
- We have a religion that is private, but not personal.
- Without the church you wouldn’t have many institutions such as schools and hospitals.
- Maybe the problem with contemporary Christianity is we’ve introduced them to religion and not a relationship.
- We already know enough about God, we just don’t do what we know.
- Today it’s a matter of not being close minded but being clear.
- The more grounded you are the more comfortable you are in your Christian skin.
- Read Psalms 16:9-11. Hosea
Matthew 28:16-20. 1 Peter 3:18.
