What about us?

SLIDE:  1 Corinthians 15:20  But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

SLIDE:  1 Corinthians 15:43 Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength.

 

Death comes before resurrection

SLIDE:  1 Corinthians 15:50 What I am saying, dear brothers and sisters, is that our physical bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. These dying bodies cannot inherit what will last forever.

SLIDE: 1 Corinthians 15:54 Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled:

SLIDE:  “Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?”

SLIDE:  Feet to your Faith!

SLIDE:  God literally put Feet to Faith

SLIDE:  Romans 10:9-10 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
