Caleb Reads 1 Corinthians 15: 51-57

A couple of weeks ago Caleb was asked to read a verse at church as part of the service. There are some pretty big words in the verse, so he spent quite a few nights practising reading the verse, 1 Corinthians 15: 51-57.

We broke with our usual habit of sitting near the back of church so that he could head up in the middle of worship to speak. He did a great job, and you can see it for yourself…

Here is the verse so you can read it for yourself:

Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed — in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 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.”

“Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our church in Calgary is South Calgary Community Church. They have an English service, Russian service and Brazilian / Portuguese service every Sunday and have a kids program that our children love.
