Of First Importance

1 Corinthians 15:1-11

Two epic, core events:

1) “Christ died for our sins.” vv. 3-4

Proof: Christ was buried.

2) “Christ was raised on the third day.” vv. 4-11

Proof: Appeared to a multitude of witnesses.

“Of first importance” . . .

. . . is that the gospel centers on the death of Christ.

. . . is that the gospel centers on the risen life of Christ.

. . . is that the gospel impacts our lives and death.

Take Home Idea: We must never lose our grip on Christ crucified and Christ risen.
