1 Corinthians: Chapter 15

Podcast from Nfluence Church | Granger, Indiana
Featuring: Pastor Lucas Miles

In this teaching from 1 Corinthians 15, Pastor Lucas Miles unpacks the centrality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and its significance for the church today. Beginning with reflections on the communal, participatory nature of early church gatherings, Pastor Lucas contrasts the New Testament model of believers strengthening one another with the seeker-driven tendencies of many modern churches.

The message dives deep into Paul’s defense of the resurrection, addressing the Corinthians’ misunderstandings about the afterlife, the body, and the spirit. Through scriptural evidence and the testimony of eyewitnesses, Paul reminds the church that Christ’s resurrection is the foundation of Christian faith and the “first fruits” of what believers can expect. Pastor Lucas also explores themes of humility, the order of resurrection, and even difficult passages like baptism for the dead, helping listeners approach them with biblical clarity.

This episode challenges believers to hold fast to the truth of the resurrection, live with both spiritual and physical integrity, and embrace the hope of eternal life through Christ.
