Sown in Weakness, Raised in Power | 1 Corinthians 15:35-58 | Pastor Bob Erbig

In this final message of our Upside Down Glory: Disability and the Kingdom of God series, Pastor Bob Erbig turns to 1 Corinthians 15 to ask a deeply personal and eternal question: What happens to disability in the resurrection? Framed by the sobering yet hope-filled reflections of former Senator Ben Sasse, this sermon explores Paul’s powerful imagery of the seed and the resurrection body—sown in weakness, raised in power. Addressing questions about continuity, transformation, identity, and the future of our suffering bodies, Pastor Bob walks carefully through the promise that God does not discard what has suffered but glorifies and redeems it. With pastoral tenderness and theological clarity, this message reminds us that our identity is not rooted in dust, diagnosis, or decay, but in Christ—the Man of Heaven—and that one day, at the sound of the trumpet, death itself will be swallowed up in victory.Sown in weakness, raised in power—because in Christ, the body that suffers will one day shine with resurrection glory.
