What does it mean to truly labor for the Lord? This message takes us through 1 Corinthians 15:58-16:9, exploring the profound truth that because Christ is risen, our work for Him is never in vain. We're challenged to move beyond merely believing in the resurrection to actually living in light of it. The passage reveals three concrete ways we participate in God's eternal work: through intentional giving, through investing time in spiritual friendships, and through walking boldly through open doors for ministry. What's striking is how Paul connects these practical actions to the resurrection itself—because Jesus conquered death, everything we do for Him echoes into eternity. We're invited to see ourselves not as reservoirs hoarding God's blessings, but as pipelines through which His grace flows to a broken world. The Macedonian believers exemplify this beautifully: despite severe affliction and extreme poverty, they gave with overflowing generosity. How? Through the power of the Holy Spirit transforming their hearts. This isn't about legalistic obligation or reluctant duty; it's about joyful participation in something that will matter in a billion years. When we grasp that our labor truly isn't in vain, it changes how we approach our resources, our calendars, and our opportunities. We're called to be steadfast and immovable, always abounding—going overboard—in the work of the Lord.
