This Sunday, Shannon S. continued our studies in 1 Corinthians. He taught us from 1 Corinthians 15:35-49 concerning the future bodily resurrection. Remember, everyone will be raised. Some will be raised to live forever in the presence of God - eternal life. Others will be raised to live forever out of the presence of God - eternal death.

Next week, Anthony C. concludes our study of the resurrection. He will teach us from 1 Corinthians 15:50-58.

Mael D. will conclude our study of 1 Corinthians when he teaches the final chapter - 1 Corinthians 16 - over two weeks: May 7 and May 14. We will then begin a short series in the Psalms, with different men teaching one Psalm per week. Then, in August, we will begin studying "Paul's Personal Epistles" - 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon.

Theron S. taught us from 1 Corinthians 15:20-28. Since Christ has been raised from the dead, we have hope of our own resurrection. "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. " (1 Cor. 15:22)

Next week, Eric C. continues this exciting series of lessons on the resurrection. He will teach us from 1 Corinthians 15:29-34. What exactly is "the baptism for the dead?"

What a wonderful day to gather with the body of Christ! We had the honor of hearing from Nathaniel, an indigenous missionary from Togo with New Harvest Missions. Then, Rob M. taught us from 1 Corinthians 15:12-19 concerning the necessity of the ressurection of the dead. Remember, our beliefs have consequences! We should live in a way that demonstrates our belief in the resurrection.

We then gathered at the home of Jeff and Joanne T. to celebrate the Lord's Supper with a meal, fellowship, prayer, and singing.

Next week, Theron S. continues our study from 1 Corinthians 15:20-28.
