Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:58

We end this week where Paul closes his great defense of the resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15:58:

"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord."

Last Sunday, we were left with a charge that should ring in our ears all weekend long: We hold that message of hope. Don't bury it.

In a world that feels like it is collapsing, the darkness wants you to believe that standing for truth is pointless. But God promises that no prayer prayed in faith, no witness boldly spoken, and no stand taken for righteousness is ever wasted.

Jesus Christ has conquered sin, death, and hell! The tomb is empty, the King is on the throne, and His victory is eternally secure.

Stay the course, Church. Hold the line, shine the light, and do the work until He comes!

Reflect Today: Will you commit today to stand steadfast and unashamed for the Gospel?

Prayer: Father, make us steadfast and immovable. Give us the courage to hold the line and never bury the message of hope You have entrusted to us. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.
