1 Corinthians 15 is a powerful chapter centred on the resurrection of Jesus Christ and its vital importance to the Christian faith. Paul reminds the church of the gospel message—that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again, all according to the Scriptures. He defends the reality of the resurrection, showing that without it, our faith is empty and we remain in our sins. But Christ has indeed been raised, the first fruits of those who will rise. Paul then unfolds the hope of our future resurrection and calls believers to live steadfast, purposeful lives in light of that victory.
The letters to the churches in the first three chapters of Revelation are delivered by Jesus Christ himself, demonstrating his authority as well as his care and concern for his people. The letters provide warnings to Christians to resist the values of their surrounding culture as well as encouragements to persevere through trials in order to achieve the victory that is found in Christ. Together they reveal the glory and power of Christ as well as provide a picture of the Church that is pleasing and honouring to him.
1 Kings recounts the history of the people of Israel from the final days of King David – a united kingdom - to the reign of Jehoshaphat in Judah and Ahaziah in Israel – a divided kingdom. The opening movement of the book is of Solomon’s rise to the throne, his wisdom, and the building of the temple. Yet despite early glory, Solomon’s heart turns from God. The kingdom then divides. The narrative arc of the book highlights the spiritual decline of the nation, the failure of earthly kings, and God’s faithfulness through prophets like Elijah. 1 Kings reminds us that God alone is worthy of our trust and worship, not political power or human rulers.
The second letter to the Thessalonians conveys a sense of spiritual urgency as believers are encouraged, in the light of the second coming of Christ, to grow in their faith and love for one another and persevere through persecution and trials in dependence on the strength and protection of the Lord. It also clarifies misunderstandings about the day of the Lord and reminds Christians to be responsible and productive in their daily lives whilst being discerning about false teaching.
