The Gospel and Change
Sep 21, 2025 • Rich Millhouse
In 1 Corinthians 15:1–11, the gospel is not just the power that saves us—it’s the power that changes us. Paul’s life shows that the gospel is both transformational (making us new creations in Christ) and motivational (driving us by grace, not guilt). Using the picture of Heat → Thorns → Cross → Fruit, we see how life’s pressures reveal our hearts, but at the cross, God meets us with grace and grows lasting fruit through His Spirit. The big idea: The gospel that rescues your past also reshapes your present.
