1 Cor 15:12-26
The Resurrection of the Dead
12 (Ac 23:8; 2Ti 2:18) Now if Christ is preached that He rose from the dead,
how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 (1Th 4:14) If there is no resurrection of the dead,
then Christ has not risen.
14 If Christ has not risen, then our preaching is vain,
and your faith is also vain.
15 (Ac 2:24) Yes, and we would then be found false witnesses of God,
because we have testified that God raised up Christ, whom He did not
raise up, if in fact the dead do not rise.
16 For if the dead do not rise, then Christ has not been raised.
17 (Ro 4:25) If Christ is not raised, your faith is vain;
you are still in your sins.
18 (Rev 14:13; 1Co 15:6) Then they also who have fallen asleep
in Christ have perished.
19 (2Ti 3:12) If in this life only we have hope in Christ,
we are of all men most miserable.
20 (Ac 26:23; 1Co 15:23) But now is Christ risen from the dead
and become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
21 (Jn 11:25; Ro 6:23) For since death came by man, by man came
also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 (1Co 15:20; 15:52) But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits;
afterward, those who are Christ's at His coming.
24 (Da 7:27; 7:14; Isa 9:7) Then comes the end when He will deliver up
the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule
and all authority and power.
25 (Ps 110:1; Mt 22:44) For He will reign until He has put all enemies
under His feet.
26 (2Ti 1:10; Rev 20:14) The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.
[12] Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some
among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
[13] But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
[14] And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith
is also vain.
[15] Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified
of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the
dead rise not.
[16] For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
[17] And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your
sins.
[18] Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
[19] If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most
miserable.
[20] But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of
them that slept.
[21] For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the
dead.
[22] For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
[23] But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they
that are Christ's at his coming.
[24] Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to
God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority
and power.
[25] For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
[26] The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
Jaroslav Pelikan, longtime Yale professor considered one of "his generation's
preeminent authorities on Christian history," was renowned for his extensive
academic career. He published more than thirty books and won the esteemed
Kluge Prize as a lifetime award for his voluminous writing. One of his
students, however, recounted what he considered his teacher's most important
words, spoken from his deathbed: "If Christ is risen, nothing else matters.
And if Christ is not—nothing else matters."
Pelikan echoed Paul's conviction: "And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.” (1 Corinthians 15:14).
The apostle made such a bold statement because he knew that the resurrection
was not merely a one-off miracle but rather the pinnacle of God's redeeming
work in human history. The promise of resurrection wasn't only His assurance
that Jesus would rise from the dead but His bold affirmation that other dead
and ruined things (lives, neighborhoods, relationships) would also one day be
brought back to life through Christ. If there's no resurrection, however, Paul
knew that we’re in deep trouble. If there's no resurrection, then death and
destruction win.
But, of course, "now is Christ risen from the dead" (v. 20). Destroyed by the
Victor, death loses. And Jesus is the "firstfruits" of all the life that will
follow. He conquered evil and death so that we could live bold and free. This
changes everything.

What difference does it make to understand the expansive hope of Jesus' resurrection? Where do you need resurrection in your life?
Dear God, allow me to see how Jesus' resurrection
changes everything about my life now and forever.

Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 1 Hard Bargain
Mark 11:24
24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray,
believe that you will receive them, and you will have them.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray,
believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
"I've been praying." Jennifer declared confidently. " I told God I'd give him
a tithe of that $5000000 when I win the sweepstakes."
Her friend Cindi laughed. "Well, then, you don't have a chance. I told him
I'd give him half!"
Can we, as in Mark 11:24 seems to imply , pray for anything, absolutely
anything, and expect that the Lord will come through? Can we pray with
assurance for new cars, mink coats, or trips to the Caribbean? The verse
seems to be a troublesome one, especially when we try it and our prayers
aren't answered in the way we expected.
But seen in context, Mark 11:24 gives us a much broader picture of the
kind of prayer Jesus meant. The verse appears in the framework of
Jesus' ministry - cleansing the temple, correcting the Pharisees,
commanding forgiveness, discussing his authority. The condition for
the fulfillment of Mark 11:24, if Jesus' actions are any indication,
is fulfilling the will and purpose of God.
Such a condition for powerful prayers involves much more than attaching
am "If it be Thy will" clause onto the end of our prayers. We need to know
God's will and walk in it, seeking his kingdom first, and drawing close to
him. Then , as our hearts are right with him, what we ask in prayer
is likely to be congruent with the mind and purposes of Christ. We are
less likely to pray selfishly, and more likely to share God's priorities,
as we get to know him. And as we deepen in our knowledge of him,
as his will becomes our will, his promise for answered prayer takes
on new dimensions.

2 Chr 26:5
5 (2 Ch 24:2; Da 1:17) And he sought after God in the days of Zechariah,
the one who instructed him in the fear of the Lord. And in the days
that he sought after the Lord, God caused him to succeed.
5 And he sought God in the days of Zechariah,
who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long

and He turned to me, and heard my cry.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
out of the miry clay,
and set my feet on a rock,
and established my steps.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) He has put a new song in my mouth,
even praise to our God;
many will see it, and fear,
and will trust in the Lord.
...
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) I have proclaimed righteousness
in the great congregation;
I have not held back my lips,
O Lord, You know.

I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Do not withhold Your compassion from me, O Lord;
may Your lovingkindness and Your truth always guard me.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 I waited patiently for the LORD;
And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay,
And set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even
praise unto our God:
Many shall see it, and fear,
And shall trust in the LORD.
...
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation:
Lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart;
I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation:
I have not concealed thy lovingkindness,
And thy truth from the great congregation.
11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD:

The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)
Manitoba
Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba
Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000
est Muslim Population 21 349
CNMM Networks: Winnipeg
The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very
diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting
it might be twice that size.
Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size
of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.
Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth
of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.
We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers
among Muslims in Winnipeg.
Let us intercede in unity for:
- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population
- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim
communities around them, as well as training new workers
- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim
background believers and for effectiveness in outreach
- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground
in the face of opposition to her new faith.
- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged
with great support

Praying in the Park with a Yemeni Woman
In Yemen, sharing Christ can be deadly. But in America, people have
the freedom to evangelise to anyone without fear. Yemenis were denied hearing
the Gospel in their homeland, but those who have migrated by the thousands
to cities like Detroit, New York, Oakland, and Buffalo, now have the chance.
One afternoon in Minnesota, Zaynab, a young Yemeni mother, entered her
neighbourhood park and sat down near Cheryl, a local believer. Zaynab smiled
when this American woman greeted her with the familiar Islamic greeting, "As
salaamu aleikum." Soon they were talking about family and life.
Cheryl transitioned the conversation to spiritual things by offering prayer.
Zaynab was thankful and asked for prayer for her family's health.
"Do you read the before books?" Cheryl asked, referring to the Bible,
which was written before Islam's holy book.
"No," said Zaynab. "I only read the Qur'an."
"Did you know that the Qur'an says the Injil (Gospel) is a 'light and
a guide' (5:46) to Paradise?" Cheryl asked, explaining that Injil means
good news. "What do you want to hear on judgment day? Good news or bad?"
"Oh, good news, of course," Zaynab replied.
As Cheryl proceeded to share the Gospel, beginning with the fall of Adam
and moving to the coming of Christ, Zaynab was touched by how Jesus was good
and kind to women, something she seldom experienced. After hearing of Jesus's
death and resurrection for her sins, Zaynab believed.
Yemeni women like Zaynab live in our cities, yearning to hear the truth
they've been denied all their lives. Americans are justly proud of their
country's religious freedom. Will they use it to reach women like Zaynab?
Pray for Yemeni women to meet believers willing to pray and share with them.
Pray Romans 10:14: "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not
believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? "

Thank you for praying through the
5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.
"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,
I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to
cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.
Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians
and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the
love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.
One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by
light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.
As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and
confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution
to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.
Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.
Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father
to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.
I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.
God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through
the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom
and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."
13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy
and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that
ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Manitoba
Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba
Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000
est Muslim Population 21 349
CNMM Networks: Winnipeg
The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very
diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting
it might be twice that size.
Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size
of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.
Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth
of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.
We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers
among Muslims in Winnipeg.
Let us intercede in unity for:
- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population
- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim
communities around them, as well as training new workers
- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim
background believers and for effectiveness in outreach
- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground
in the face of opposition to her new faith.
- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged
with great support

Praying in the Park with a Yemeni Woman
In Yemen, sharing Christ can be deadly. But in America, people have
the freedom to evangelise to anyone without fear. Yemenis were denied hearing
the Gospel in their homeland, but those who have migrated by the thousands
to cities like Detroit, New York, Oakland, and Buffalo, now have the chance.
One afternoon in Minnesota, Zaynab, a young Yemeni mother, entered her
neighbourhood park and sat down near Cheryl, a local believer. Zaynab smiled
when this American woman greeted her with the familiar Islamic greeting, "As
salaamu aleikum." Soon they were talking about family and life.
Cheryl transitioned the conversation to spiritual things by offering prayer.
Zaynab was thankful and asked for prayer for her family's health.
"Do you read the before books?" Cheryl asked, referring to the Bible,
which was written before Islam's holy book.
"No," said Zaynab. "I only read the Qur'an."
"Did you know that the Qur'an says the Injil (Gospel) is a 'light and
a guide' (5:46) to Paradise?" Cheryl asked, explaining that Injil means
good news. "What do you want to hear on judgment day? Good news or bad?"
"Oh, good news, of course," Zaynab replied.
As Cheryl proceeded to share the Gospel, beginning with the fall of Adam
and moving to the coming of Christ, Zaynab was touched by how Jesus was good
and kind to women, something she seldom experienced. After hearing of Jesus's
death and resurrection for her sins, Zaynab believed.
Yemeni women like Zaynab live in our cities, yearning to hear the truth
they've been denied all their lives. Americans are justly proud of their
country's religious freedom. Will they use it to reach women like Zaynab?
Pray for Yemeni women to meet believers willing to pray and share with them.

believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? "

Thank you for praying through the
5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.
"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,
I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to
cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.
Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians
and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the
love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.
One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by
light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.
As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and
confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution
to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.
Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.
Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father
to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.
I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.
God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through
the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom
and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."
13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy
and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that
ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
