Prayer: Gracious God we thank you for all you have given us. We give you extra thanks for those who have come before us and have spread the faith. Help us learn from them and proclaim the news of you wherever we go and to whomever we meet. Amen
Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: We are at the end of the season of Lent. We are in Holy Week. Easter is almost here. The reading from Corinthians is an Easter story. It talks of those who saw the resurrected Christ and went out to tell others about it. Paul who is the author of this text is one of the people who was a huge influencer in spreading the Gospel. We know his life took a U-turn and he went from persecuting Christians to being an apostle who traveled all over the place preaching and teaching about Jesus. It took a might act of God for this to happen so his outreach was powered by the grace he received. We also receive the grace of God and we should be so bold to spread the message of God’s love and saving grace. --Charlene Rineer
