In this sermon, Pastor Darren walks through the closing words of 1 Corinthians 16, reminding us of the essentials we can’t afford to leave behind.

These closing remarks aren’t just farewell notes, they’re a survival kit for following Jesus and finishing strong.
 

In the closing lines of his letter to the Corinthians, Paul gives practical instructions for taking up a collection for believers in need. But this is more than a fundraiser, it’s a picture of the gospel in action. In this message, our pastor unpacks how generosity is rooted in what Christ has done for us, practiced with intentionality, and aimed at kingdom impact. 

In this message, we look at Paul’s promise that these breakable bodies won’t last forever, but that’s not bad news, it’s freedom. Because Jesus rose from the grave, death has lost its sting, and we can live today with courage, hope, and purpose that the grave can’t bury. Your body may be wearing out, but your calling is not. Stand strong, spend your life on what lasts forever, and live unburied.

Welcome to today’s message. We’re diving into 1 Corinthians 15 where Paul reminds us that if the tomb is empty, everything changes. If Jesus didn’t rise, our faith is empty, but because He did, we have hope that holds, courage that stands, and a reason to live fully awake today. 
 

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 15:1–11, we are reminded of the unchanging foundation of our faith: the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Together, we consider how to stand firm in this truth, hold fast to it when life challenges us, and faithfully share it so that others may discover the same hope and new life found in Him.
