Changed By God To Make A Difference For God

Do you know what the Good News is that the original apostles proclaimed? If you do, is your faith useful or useless. Every three years in between the Epiphany and Lenten seasons, provided Easter falls late enough like it does this year, the lectionary allows us to read St. Paul’s theology on the resurrection found in 1 Corinthians 15. Given the shoddy teaching about the resurrection, and in some cases the outright dismissal of it, this is an appropriate time to talk about our resurrection hope, even though it isn’t Eastertide. So today we begin a three-part sermon series on St. Paul’s teaching about the resurrection. May you find healing, refreshment, and encouragement from Christ's death and resurrection. Lectionary texts for today are Isaiah 6.1-13; Psalm 138; 1 Corinthians 15.1-11; Luke 5.1-11.
