Is their something in your life that you need to be reminded of Constantly
Maybe its your medication
Maybe its picking up the kids from School or taking them.
Maybe its an appointments.
We have apps on our phones that are their to remind us of important things.
Like calendars, and every note.
I don’t about you but at one point in my life I had a note pad by my bed so I could write down things that I needed to remember.
Today, in our text Paul is going to remind all of us of the most important thing.
Paul is going to remind all of us of The Gospel.
He is writing the Church of Corinth who is struggling.
And he is going to remind them of the main thing.
ple are eating meat from idols causing others to stumble.
Paul is writing to a church that is messed up.
This is a church that has division in the church and who they would follow.
In Chapter 3 Paul addresses the issue that some wanted to follow Apollos and some Paul.
Paul reminds them they are all Gods workers
In Chapter 5 we see that Paul says their is sexual immorality among them.
Some men sleeping with their fathers wives
In Chapter 6 we see that some church members thought it be best to sue other church members
In Chapter 8 some people are eating meat from idols causing others to stumble.
In Chapter 12 Paul addresses Spiritual gifts some thought themselves to be more spiritual because of the gift God had givne them.
I love this book because it reminds me how off track and how messed up the Christ follower can be.
It reminds me that we are all sinner and we need to be reminded of what Paul will remind us of today.
If you are messed up.
If your life is not together you have come to the right place today.
God has a word for us.
Then Paul comes to chapter 15 and he says
Paul starts off by saying I would remind you brothers.
1 Corinthians 15:
1
Paul is speaking to the church, the Christ follower and Paul says.
I want to remind you of something fellow Christ follower.
I want to remind you of something Tar Heel Baptist church.
What does Paul want to remind us of?
He says that he wants to remind us of the gospel that he preached.
We all need to be reminded of the gospel.
Many of us when it comes to the gospel, we think of it as a tool we use to lead someone to Christ and then it is of no use to us.
J.D. Greear says the gospel is not the diving board for which we dive into the pool of Christianity it is the pool itself that we swim in.
Paul knew what this trouble church needed most to be reminded of is the gospel.
The Gospel is what you and I need to be reminded of not only on Easter but each week and each day.
This past week I meet with some pastors to pray.
One of the pastor prayed something along the lines of “Thank you that we can come and celebrate your resurrection this Sunday, but not just this Sunday may the resurrection be something we celebrate every day.
Paul says this gospel that I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved.
The gospel had to be recieved.
There was a point in your life where someone presented the gospel to you and you didn’t reject it be you recieved it.
If you are a Christ follower
If you have not recieved the gospel I want to encourage you to receive this message of the gospel this Easter morning.
Not only did we receive it we also stand in the message of the gospel.
The gospel message is not something we move beyond.
Many believe this is the message we receive to accept Christ and then we move beyond it.
The message of the gospel is what we stand in each day.
We never move pass this life changing message.
It is the message of the gospel that reminds us we are loved when we feel unloved.
For Jesus loved us enough to die in our place.
It is the message of the gospel that reminds us we can’t make it in this world alone.
The gospel reminds us that Jesus had to come and die in our place so that we would find forgiveness of sins.
It is the message of the gospel that speaks to us when we face death.
The gospel reminds the Christ follower their is something better to come
It is the message of the gospel that speaks to us in the middle of our hurt, suffering, pain and the storms of life.
The gospel reminds us that Jesus has faced, hurt, pain, suffering and the biggest storm of all.
We must stand in the gospel.
Paul next says the gospel is the message that we are being saved.
The way Paul words this is.
The gospel message didn’t just save us past tense.
Meaning it is not just some event that took place in the past.
Paul use of the word being means it is present tense.
Right now in this moment because of receiving the message and accepting the message of the gospel I am being saved.
I am becoming more like Christ.
If I where to die right now this minute I would be in the presents of the Lord.
In verse 3-4 Paul is going to give us the gospel message that he recieved.
This morning maybe you have never heard the gospel and you need to receive it, or maybe you have heard the gospel lots of times and you have received it and need to be reminded of it.
Paul is reminding them that while he was with them he delivered to them the message of first importance.
In the church we spend a lot of time talking about all kinds of things
We talk about musical style.
How many times have we had this conversation
We talk about end of times.
When is Jesus coming back
We talk about leadership in the church: Eldership vs. Deacon lead, verse staff lead or congregational lead
We talk about theological matters.
Calvinism vs. Armnisim.
Many churches and Christ followers will rise certain issues to the main issue
Being pro-life from conception to the grave
That we should not descriminate
That we should stand against social injustices
That
That we should fight the war on drugs
We spend a lot of our time talking about how we need God back in our country.
And all of this is important stuff.
However the message of first importance for the church is the message of the gospel.
The gospel is not a secondary subject and nor is it just another subject like the rest of these mentioned.
It is not a subject we should just add to the end of a sermon.
The gospel is not just another
The gospel message is the main subject.
It is of primary importance.
The gospel is the main thing, because the gospel is all about Jesus.
The gospel is the main thing, because the gospel is all about Jesus.
Their is not a more important message I can share with you this morning than the message of the gospel.
Their is not a more important message I can share with you this morning than the message of the gospel.
Their is not a more important message that you can share with your family and friends, or co-workers than the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Many of us will be eating with our families this afternoon of which some will be lost.
We will talk about all kinds of things.
