The Turning Point in God’s Plan to Defeat Sin and Death (1 Corinthians 15:12-22, 56-57)

In this Easter sermon, we explore how the resurrection of Jesus is not just a moment in history but the turning point in God’s plan to defeat sin and death. While we still experience brokenness in the world and in ourselves, the risen Jesus is the firstfruits, the first in line, of a new creation, guaranteeing that his victory is our future. That resurrection power is on display in our lives as we faithfully live out the practices that work against the influence of the deadly sins in our lives.
