Waverly Church of Christ

What drives your faith? What is it that keeps you pressing toward the goal for that which Paul described as “the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus?” (Philippians 3:14). Why, as a Christian would you want to be “steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord?” (1 Corinthians 15:58). The fact that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead, that He lives, makes all the difference in the world. It is a fact disputed by some who lived in the city of Corinth in the middle of the first century, but a fact which the apostle Paul defended. Tonight, I would like for us to examine the arguments which Paul makes to the Corinthians in order to see the difference the resurrection makes for us.
