Fun fact: 42% of Jesus' stories were about money, stewardship, and giving. Why so much? How we handle money is critical to our discipleship and it also poses great challenges to our discipleship. Paul picks up the mantle to provide us with the mechanics and motive for giving.

Two points of emphases for Christian giving...
1) The mechanics of giving
2) The motive for giving

Text: 1 Corinthians 16:1-4

The afterlife: will there be one? If so, what will it be like? The Christian teaching on this topic is beyond our wildest dreams. But sadly, so many people misunderstand what eternal life will be like. Bottom line: it's going to be amazing!

Jesus' resurrection isn’t just a celebration of a past resurrection. It's a celebration of a future coming resurrection. Your resurrection. Your bodily resurrection.

1) What it will be like
2) Who makes it happen
3) How it changes your attitude towards death

Text: 1 Corinthians 15:35-58

What is it that actually occurred on the cross? What did it accomplish? And is there any connection with this and Jesus' commandments? We will see the distinction and importance between God's gospel and his law!

1) Jesus is our advocate
2) Jesus is our propitiation
3) Jesus is our example
