Each One Reach One | 1 Corinthians 15:1-11

To be life-giving we must first be life-receiving. In God’s story all life originates in God. God created the world by his Word and it is his Word that sustains our lives and gives us a chance to choose life. Psalm 1 outlines the first steps of our journey. In God’s economy, choosing life begins with trusting and treasuring God’s word.

How do we make Christ’s gospel our priority?

God’s mission becomes our priority when…

I. We value the grace given to us: We cannot give what we have not received 1 Cor. 15:1-2.
a. Reminded of the gospel.
b. The gospel we received: life-long and life-changing

II. We become life-givers as each one reaches one 1 Cor 15:3-6.
a. God’s mission, our conviction: the life-card.
b. The word became flesh to reach us: churches planting churches and people reaching people: our footprint near and far.

III. We make his mission our life’s passion 1 Cor. 15:7-11.

If God’s mission is to become reality
The gospel of Jesus must become our priority
God always gives his provision
To those who make the gospel their passion

1. Do you remember where you were when God graciously reached out to you with the gospel? Jesus says that those whom much is forgiven love much (Luke 7:47), do you love enough to share?
2. We cannot be life-givers if we are not first life-receivers. Is the life of the vine flowing through your veins enabling you to share his life with others?
3. Who is the one God is calling you now to pray for and reach for him? If you start praying, God will open the door for you to share his life. God always gives his provision to those who make the gospel their passion.

Meals as Enacted Promise | Luke 24

April 5, 2026by Dr. Miguel Lopez

Comfort food. We all have a meal or two we go to when we need to be cheered up. The trauma the first disciples experienced after the Passover meal was almost unbearable. How could they move on? Thank God for the resurrection! The new day of the resurrection assures us death is not the end. A new day is coming where death will be no more and where, non surprisingly, Jesus will meet us a the table again with the ultimate comfort food anticipating the Kingdom to come.

Meals as Enacted Salvation | Luke 22

April 5, 2026by Dr. Miguel Lopez

A death sentenced criminal last meal is a grace given before the end. This was a meal meant to offer freedom and the joy of a new beginning. The host himself offered forgiveness and abundant life in God’s kingdom and yet, this meal became his last anticipating his imminent death. Paradoxically a gracious life-giving, liberating meal marked Jesus as someone who was born to die as a criminal but was innocent as a lamb. Jesus’s last supper is an invitation to trade places where he offers his life for our death and where we surrender our life for his glory.…
