In this powerful new chapter of our A City of Light series, Pastor Tommy brings us to the foundational truth of our faith—the Gospel of Jesus Christ. After chapters of pastoral correction and instruction for church life, Paul shifts the focus in 1 Corinthians 15 to the message that makes it all possible: Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again.
📖 In this message, we explore:
Why the Gospel is not only the starting point but the sustaining force for Christian life
How Christ’s death for our sins is central to our identity, forgiveness, and freedom
Why His resurrection is the ultimate victory that empowers us to stand, serve, and sacrifice
The security of knowing that we are fully known and fully loved because of the Gospel
How this Gospel allows us to live beyond the striving of self-righteousness into a life of grateful obedience
Paul says this message is of first importance—and without it, all the correction and community Paul has been building toward would fall flat. But with it, we can stand, be saved, and live with hope that transcends this world.
