Resurrection Is All Around Us (2026-05-03, David Camera, 1 Corinthians 15:35-49)

A sermon on the nature of the resurrection body by Rev. David Camera. Application questions: What analogies does Paul draw to prove the reality of a future resurrection of our bodies? If you had to describe our resurrection bodies from this passage, how would you describe them? Since we will bear the full image of Jesus when we are resurrected, his body is the pattern of our future bodies. Look up Luke 24:36-43. Describe Jesus’ resurrected body. There are those who treat their bodies harshly (ascetics) and those who almost worship their bodies as ultimate. How would you correct both extremes from this passage? Are there ways that you view and treat your own body that need correcting? How should we view our current bodies from a biblical perspective? Look again at vss. 42-44. Is there a connection between who we are now and who we will be at the resurrection? Will we know ourselves and be known as ourselves by others? In vss. 47-49 Paul draws a comparison between Adam and Christ. How does this comparison support Paul’s argument that we will be raised? What hope and comfort do you find in this passage?
