No Resurrection, No Gospel (2026-04-12, David Camera, 1 Corinthians 15:12-19)

A sermon on Paul's teaching about the necessity of the resurrection by Pastor David Camera. Application questions: Is living forever in a resurrected body appealing to you? Why or why not?  What were some of the Corinthian Christians claiming about the resurrection? Why would that be something they argued for?  Let’s follow Paul’s logic here. Some of the Corinthians claimed there is no resurrection of the body. List all the implications Paul draws out if that statement is true.  Are Christians resurrected or raised with Christ now? (cf. Eph. 2:4-7) What’s the difference?  According to 15:3 Christ died “for our sins.” Why was it necessary for Christ to die? (cf. Gen 2:17; Rom. 6:7-11; 23)  If Christ did not rise again from the dead, why therefore would our faith be in vain? (cr. v. 17)  What is the hope of the Christian? (v. 19)  Considering this passage, why is what we do with our physical bodies important to God?  What comfort does the bodily resurrection of Christ give us in this life?
