Message: “Death Swallowed Up! (1 Corinthians 15:50-58)” from Dr. David Carey Dixon

A message from the series "Sunday Service." The prophet Isaiah described the human dilemma in terms of a sheet that is spread over all nations, the shroud in which all peoples are wrapped. Another description comes from Psalm 49, where the psalmist saw death as our shepherd, actually “feeding” on us generation after generation. But Isaiah foresees the day when God will prepare a magnificent feast for all the peoples of the world, and the main course will be nothing less than the destruction of death! In fact, he perceives God Himself as the One who will destroy death by “swallowing it up,” devouring it – and then wiping away all the tears and freeing His people from their shame and disgrace. This amazing vision ends with Isaiah’s affirmation that this is the God we’ve been waiting for! This is the salvation we had been longing for!

Great Expectations

Palm Sunday is the day where you hear the story of Jesus triumphantly entering Jerusalem. People are shouting “Hosanna!” and “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” There is a massive celebration, but I want to challenge you to look at that triumphant entry from a different perspective. In a matter of days, everything would change. Jesus would be arrested, beaten, and crucified. Like the Apostles, how do we respond when we are taken from a point of triumph to a point of desperation? At times we feel God calling us in a certain direction but somewhere along the way our expectations of what God is going to do and what God does begin to look very different. When this happens, how do we respond?
