Big Idea: Live today like you’ll stand before Jesus tonight.

1 Corinthians 15:29-34

I. Live a faith that is stronger than death.

1 Corinthians 15:29

Otherwise what will they do who are being baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, then why are people baptized for them?

II. Live by Jesus’s power, not your own.

1 Corinthians 15:30-32

Why are we in danger every hour? I face death every day, as surely as I may boast about you, brothers and sisters, in Christ Jesus our Lord. If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus as a mere man, what good did that do me? If the dead are not raised, Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.

III. Live with people who share your faith… often.

1 Corinthians 15:33-34

Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.” Come to your senses and stop sinning; for some people are ignorant about God. I say this to your shame.

Next Steps: 

• Believe: I need Jesus to give me eternal life.
• Become: I will trust Jesus’s strength this week. 
• Be Sent: I will share my faith this week.

Discussion Questions: 

1. How did the certainty of the resurrection change the way you lived yesterday?
2. In what ways can a focus on eternity help you find hope in difficult circumstances?
3. Is there a habit or attitude that would change if you lived with a clearer awareness of Christ’s victory over death?
4. How would a relationship change if you consistently kept eternity in mind while loving, serving, and forgiving?
5. What is one practical step you will take this week to live more intentionally in light of the reality of eternal life with Christ?
6. What is your biggest challenge right now?  How big would the problem be if you knew tonight was your last night?
7. Pray for the opportunity to share your faith this week.
