I. Resurrection Reality: A Foundational Truth of the Gospel
II. Our Hope of Glory unto Everlasting Salvation
SERMON TEXT: 1 Corinthians 15:12, 16-20
Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? …
16 For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. 17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! 18 Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.
20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. (NKJV)

PRAYER; THE LORD’S PRAYER

HYMN 307: Draw Nigh and Take the Body of the Lord
1 Draw nigh and take the Body of the Lord,
And drink the holy Blood for you outpoured.
Offered was He for greatest and for least,
Himself the Victim and Himself the Priest.
2 He that His saints in this world rules and shields,
To all believers life eternal yields,
With heav’nly bread makes them that hunger whole,
Gives living waters to the thirsting soul.
3 Approach ye, then, with faithful hearts sincere,
And take the pledges of salvation here.
O Judge of all, our only Savior Thou,
In this Thy feast of love to be with us now.
