Behold I am Doing a New Thing

David Sawyer
Director of Lifelong Learning and Advanced Degrees
Associate Professor of Ministry

1 Corinthians 15: 20-26
Isaiah 43:19
Originally preached on April 28, 2006

The text for today from 1 Corinthians is the foundation of an old theological argument—the struggle between life and death in the resurrection of Jesus. The speaker once believed that if it can’t be measured, it can’t be real. He confesses here that was siding with death instead of life. The trouble with the epistemology he had adopted was that it left no room for God to do anything new. Listen to the sermon. Read the sermon in PDF.
