“If Christ Has Not Been Raised” In 1 Corinthians 15:3, Paul states that the gospel is “of first importance” (NIV).
1 Corinthians 15: 12-28 Why would the message of the death and resurrection of Jesus be a priority?

On Sunday, we studied the Apostle Paul’s discussion of the resurrec-

tion in 1 Corinthians 15. The main idea of this message was that the
What are some other preached messages that would potentially compete with
Christian faith stands or falls on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. As the
the message of the gospel for top priority?
Apostle Paul stated in verse 14 and following, “If Christ has not been
raised, then…

resurrection of Jesus Christ? Why or why not?

faith is useless, we are being false witnesses about God, we are still in our sins and

In 1 Corinthians 15:1-2, Paul mentions several aspects of “the gospel.”

tionship with God. Have there been times in your spiritual life during which you
faced uncertainty, doubt and lack of assurance regarding your relationship with
What are some everyday examples of good news? God? Explain.

What makes good news good? What would you say to a person who lacks spiritual assurance to help their confi-
dence about their relationship with God to grow stronger?

How is it that we take our stand on the gospel?

In 1 Corinthians 15:20 Paul describes Jesus as “the first fruits of those who have
fallen asleep. ” What do you think he meant by that statement?
How are we saved by the gospel?

To what extent does the promise and hope of eternal life impact the way that
What do you think it means to believe in vain?
you live today?
