Resurrection in Glory
Materialists have risen in the ranks denying the end time glory of Christ and the resurrection are an accomplished fact. They are looking past the end time consummation and proclaiming a yet future, resurrection of physical bodies from the grave. This turns the resurrection teaching of Christ and the apostles on its head.
For this study, we will take a look at a text which emphasizes the spiritual nature of the glorious resurrection which was about to be in the first century.

Birth Pangs of A Church in Labor
What are the birth pangs of Romans 8 indicative of relative to the creation? This is a very significant term. It helps to set the context, time and significance of the events of Romans 8:18-23.

Welcome to part 2 of "Resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15, Where Did You Start? I'm sure that you're like everyone else with many things to do and very little time to get it done. Well, at least that's what it's like for me. Taking the time to write a blog post challenges me at times, like now. But, I promised to follow up from yesterday so here we go.
