However, in the same verses of Genesis that describe the fall, God presents the protoevangelium; the first good news of the redeemer. Jesus is that redeemer. He brought Himself down to a position such that Satan could strike His heel, yet in the same act, Jesus crushed Satan (John 12:28-31). This was God’s plan before the foundation of the world (1 Peter 1:19-20) (Rev 13:8). And God’s plan requires waiting. During this time God is doing great things in us and around us. We have hope in this, and we must be patient (James 5:7-11). For, we who wait shall have renewed strength and will not be exhausted. We shall mount with wings like eagles and we will run without weary (Isaiah 40:30-31).

This message explores the reality, power, and hope of the resurrection as revealed in ⁠1 Corinthians 15⁠. Through eyewitness accounts, transformed lives, and the rapid growth of the early church, we affirm the historical and transformative truth of Jesus’ resurrection. The resurrection offers the power to change us now and the promise of a bright future, as Jesus is the firstfruits of the new creation.

The armies of Samaria flee and the spoils are found by lepers. Evangelism is just one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread, the bread of life.

What was neat is they enter the story with the desire to worship the new King Jesus, that is all. Where king Herod desired to kill Jesus. We need to dethrone the "mini-king" Herod in our hearts and worship Jesus just because of who He is.
