Taste the Future

June 30, 2024 • Aaron Schaut • Romans 5:15–17, 1 Corinthians 15:20–34

There's a lot we don't know about what will happen in the future, but there is something we can be sure about. The resurrected Jesus is a foretaste of who we will become in the age to come.

Giving and Going

July 14, 2024 • Aaron Schaut • 2 Corinthians 9:6–8, Romans 15:25–28, 1 Corinthians 16

Paul closes his prolific first letter to the Corinthians with instructions about their generosity and his own plans for future mission - both examples for the outward facing kind of life God desires for all His people.

Just A Seed

July 7, 2024 • Aaron Schaut • 1 Corinthians 15:35–58, 2 Corinthians 4:16–18

If this life is all there is, then decay and death have the final word. But the resurrection of Jesus assures us that what we experience right now is just a seed - a precursor - to something better. Something ultimate. Something immortal.

Futile Faith

June 23, 2024 • Aaron Schaut • Romans 8:13–15, 1 Corinthians 15:12–20, 2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18, Hebrews 9:26–28

If our faith is to be reliable and transformational, we need to learn to recognize the counterfeit. The apostle Paul warns us about a specific type of faith that is futile and pointless, and then points us to the genuine thing worthy of our confidence.
