O death where is your victory? — This week at ELC

May 6, 2016 by john

1corinthians15-55It seems too often that death is a power greater than all, but in faith we proclaim that in Christ we always live with the promise of resurrection and new creation.

Worship with Holy Communion this week:

Saturday – 5:00 p.m. in the chapel

Sunday – 8:30 a.m. Traditional Worship

9:30 a.m. Sunday School and Volunteer Appreciation reception

10:30 a.m. Contemporary Worship

Devotions for this week:

Death Swallowed up in Life, 1 Corinthians 15:1-26, 51-57    May 1, 2016

SHARE:   What was a high point of your day? What was a low point?

READ: Read the following daily readings to deepen your understanding

Sunday, 1 Corinthians 15:1-26, 51-57, Death Swallowed in Life

Monday, 2 Corinthians 4:1-15, Treasure in Clay Jars

Tuesday, 2 Corinthians 4:16-5:10, Living by Faith

Wednesday, 2 Corinthians 5:11-6:13, The Ministry of Reconciliation

Thursday, 2 Corinthians 8:1-15, Encouragement to Be Generous

Friday, 2 Corinthians 9:1-15, The Collection for Christians at Jerusalem

Saturday, 2 Corinthians 10:1-18, Paul Defends His Ministry

TALK:  Consider some of these ideas:

To quell a debate over life after death, Paul wrote quite eloquently about new life made possible by the death and resurrection of Christ. Not only has Christ given us new life here on earth – a life driven not by fear, but by hope, faith, and love – but Christ has also made possible eternal life with our creator, God.

  • What kinds of behaviors do these readings suggest for the Christian community?
  • If death is inevitable, what is God’s role in the death of a loved one? What about an untimely death?
  • Who have you lost? Tell a story about them.

Pray: Eternal Creator, you have given us a world where sin and death seem to hold all power. But we know the truth – you are all powerful. Remind us that you have conquered sin and death, and that in you we will live forever. Amen.

Bless: May God remind you that Christ is victorious over death. Amen.
