SERMON OUTLINE

We Are Free 1 CORINTHIANS 15:44A-58 “When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: ‘Death has been swallowed up in victory.’” // 1 Corinthians 15:54 The churches to which Paul wrote were diverse, and this diversity informed how he wrote to them.

Jewish influence Greek philosophical influences The resurrection body differs from the earthly body Recreation is not just for our bodies but for all of Creation Death does not have the final word God’s great mystery

God is not interested in merely being a visitor or a guest in our lives. He has come to dwell, remain, and abide with us. In 2025, we will focus our attention on the Book of Psalms, using daily prayers to cultivate a faith that knows God, dwells with him, and patiently waits for his promises to unfold.

BELONG DAY J A N UA R Y 1 2 , 2 0 2 5

Join us in the Williams Center to visit with Belong Community and Belong Group leaders to learn how to get connected at Peachtree! We offer two different ways for our congregations to belong. Belong Communities are open, on-campus groups that are large in size and welcome all (i.e. Sunday Morning Communities, Women’s and Men’s Ministry, Young Adults, etc.). Belong Groups are small groups that make a commitment to meet for one year and use churchsponsored content. Belong Groups choose their own meeting cadence and meet off campus.
