The Provision of the Resurrection: How Our Future Bodies Glorify Christ (I Corinthians 15:35-44) [Audio]

Lifepoint Baptist Church Pastor Jarrod Stotmeister lpforme.com Sunday Morning Sermon Title: The Provision of the Resurrection Date: May 4, 2025 Passage: I Corinthians 15:35-44 What kind of body will we have in the resurrection? In this passage, Paul responds to questions and scoffing about the resurrection by pointing to God's creative power and the transformation that awaits every believer. This message reveals the glorious contrast between our natural bodies and the spiritual bodies we will one day receive through Christ. I Corinthians 15:35-44 35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? 36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: 37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: 38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. 39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. 40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
