Week Two
Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 15: 35-49 (NIV)
- Identify a cultural current that feels exciting or liberating but may be subtly pulling you away from a gospel-centered worldview. What specific step can you take this week to “not let go” of the truth of the resurrection in this area?
- Where are you experiencing weakness, dishonor, or decay in your body or life circumstances? How can the hope of a future imperishable and glorious resurrection body change how you respond to this present struggle today
- The Spirit dwelling within you is the present guarantee of your future bodily redemption. What one practical way can you become more aware of and dependent on the Spirit’s power this week in your areas of greatest weakness
- We have borne the image of the man of dust and will bear the image of the man of heaven. What specific aspect of Christ’s image do you most need to manifest in your relationships, work, or character this month
- What old philosophy or belief about your body (e.g., it’s disposable, it’s your ultimate identity, it’s a prison) needs to be uprooted and replaced with the biblical truth that your body is a seed God will redeem?
Week Three
Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 15: 50-58 (ESV)
- The inheritance is already secured but not yet fully realized. What is one area of your life where you could live with more confidence and less frantic performance because you know your status as an heir is settled?
- Surrender involves concrete choices—relationships, schedules, finances, or geography—reordered by worship, not personal preference. What is one habitual loyalty or comfort zone the Spirit might be asking you to submit to His correction?
- Persevering obedience often routes through discomfort, not convenience. Where are you currently facing a situation that makes you want to retreat to safety, and what would it look like to trust a promise-keeping God right there?
- Living like an heir means stewarding the dignity of adoption now. How would your approach to Monday morning change if you walked into it conscious that your labor in Jesus is not wasted?
- Humility comes from remembering our origins and meditating on Christ’s scars, not comparing ourselves to others. When you feel pride or insecurity creeping in, what specific truth about Jesus’ performance can you fix your eyes on to recenter yourself?
More on Psalms 32
David — reflecting on his own failure, confession, and the joy of God’s forgiveness (set in the Bathsheba/Uriah context; see 2 Sam 11–12). Our commentary notes Psalm 32 was likely written after Psalm 51, following reflection.
Psalm 32 was likely written in the latter part of David’s reign, after his confrontation by Nathan (2 Samuel 12), following his confession in Psalm 51, and after a time of reflection. It stands as David’s testimony to the joy of forgiveness, written some time after the Bathsheba/Uriah incident (c. 1000–970 BC).
