April 19, 2026 – The Glorified Body | 1 Corinthians 15:35–58 Baptist Bible Church, Sparta MI

What will your body be like in the resurrection? In one of Scripture’s most hope-filled passages, the Apostle Paul answers this question with clarity and wonder. In this sermon, we explore how our future resurrection bodies will be transformed, imperishable, powerful, and ultimately reflective of the glory of Christ Himself.

Paul moves from illustration to application, showing not only what awaits believers, but why it matters right now. Because resurrection is certain, our grief is tempered with hope, our endurance is strengthened, and our labor in the Lord is never in vain.

Key Takeaways:

 Our resurrection body will be transformed yet continuous with who we are now (1 Cor. 15:35–38).  There are differing degrees of glory, all reflecting God’s design (1 Cor. 15:39–41).  The new body will be imperishable, honorable, and powerful (1 Cor. 15:42–46).  Believers will bear the image and reflected glory of Christ (1 Cor. 15:47–49).  The promise of resurrection fuels steadfast, faithful living (1 Cor. 15:50–58).
