LWWC - 1st Corinthians - Session 12

• Resurrection of Christ

  • Central to the gospel; without it, faith is empty and we remain in sin.

  • Christ is the “first fruits” of resurrection; believers will follow in order.

  • Death is the last enemy, but it will be destroyed.

• Resurrection & New Bodies

  • Our current bodies are sown in weakness, raised in glory.

  • Natural body vs. spiritual body: the first Adam (earthly) vs. the last Adam, Christ (life-giving spirit).

  • Believers will receive incorruptible, immortal bodies.

• The Rapture (1 Cor. 15:51–52)

  • “We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.”

  • Transformation will happen instantly, at the last trumpet.

  • Linked to the Feast of Trumpets imagery — readiness is essential.

• Practical Warnings & Encouragements

  • “Evil company corrupts good habits” — guard your associations.

  • Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.

  • Your labor in the Lord is not in vain — eternal reward outweighs earthly trials.

• Closing Exhortations

  • Watch, stand firm in faith, be brave and strong.

  • Let everything be done in love.

  • Live with expectancy: Maranatha — “Come, Lord Jesus.”
