What is the relationship between your faith and your imagination? In this sermon on 1 Corinthians 15:35–58, Pastor Luke Herche encourages us to strengthen our faith by feeding our imagination. Listen as Pastor Luke helps us to consider the future that God has in mind for us--and to see how that helps us to live in the present--via three points: the body will be raised, death will be defeated, and your labor is not in vain.

Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions: What are some different ways one might imagine a resurrection body? Which of those ideas are grounded in Scripture and where? What might be the danger of not believing/confessing the resurrection of the body? How might that shape our view of the body and this present life? What does Paul emphasize about the resurrection body? What questions are not answered by what Paul says? Can you think of other places in Scripture that might speak to that? When has your work felt vain, fruitless, meaningless? How does our future resurrection give weight to our present labor? If you believe that, how do you think it would change the way you work? What can you do to get to that point? ------------------------------- allsoulspca.org All Souls (Urbana, IL) is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a Christian, Reformed denomination with historic and theological roots in the Protestant Reformation.
