復活的身體 Resurrected Body
哥林多教會對於復活的一個誤解就是只有靈性能復活。本週,張國強牧師揭示了即將到來的復活的細節,以及我們會有什麼樣的身體。
The Corinthian church mistakenly believed that the resurrection only applies to the spirit. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung debunks this misconception by explaining the full nature of the resurrection. Let us learn more about the coming resurrection experience, including what our renewed bodies might be like.

Life Group Discussion Guide
1. Start with a prayer
2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
• Share how you’ve been taking care of your mortal body while still embracing its limitations.
3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
• Read the passage. What are the main points from this section of Scripture and how does it connect with the past two messages on the resurrection?
• How does resurrection differ from reincarnation?
4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
• Be honest: In what ways have you been investing more into your mortal body rather than preparing for eternity? What do you think are your motivations for doing so?
• How does the idea of living for Christ rather than for yourself challenge your current lifestyle and priorities? Do you find it difficult to surrender them?
5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)
• In what specific ways can you let go of self-centeredness and make Jesus the center of your life? What changes in your heart and desires are needed to reflect this transformation?
• What aspects of your head, heart, and hands can you develop to better demonstrate that you are living for God’s eternal kingdom rather than the temporary world?
6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
• Praise God for the hope of the resurrection and the promise of a transformed body through His power. Thank Him for the assurance that, through Jesus Christ, we will be raised from death to eternal life and given a body that is glorious, imperishable, and fit for His heavenly kingdom. Rejoice in the victory over death and the future we have in Christ, where our weak and perishable bodies will be made new in His glory.
• Repent for the times you have focused too much on your mortal body and neglected the eternal significance of your life in Christ. Ask for forgiveness for investing more in worldly pursuits and self-centered desires than in living for God’s eternal kingdom. Pray for a heart that seeks to live in the power of the resurrection, with Christ at the center of all that you do, so that your life may be a testimony of His transforming work.
