Is life after death REAL?

In week six of First Things Pastor Chip dives into life when we are new in Christ.

Dive deeper into the message with these questions! 

General:

  • What kinds of things are you tethered or fastened to in your life?
  • Prior to listening to this message, what would you say is the “sine qua non” (the most essential element) of Christianity? (The Bible? Prayer? Righteous Living? Purity?)
  • Pastor Chip presents numerous verifiable reasons why the resurrection of Jesus is the most plausible explanation for what really happened to Jesus. Which of these reasons stands out to you the most?
  • Do you ever have doubts or questions about Jesus like John the Baptist did (Mt. 11:3)? If so, what do you do in those moments?
  • Where do you see death causing fear and pain in the world today?
  • How does this message change the way you view your Christian faith?

Take Home 1: The resurrection means new beginnings are possible for you and me

  • What new beginning or transformation would you like to see in your life?
  • Do you believe that the same God in the Bible who made all things new, is still actively making things new today? If not, what's holding you back?

Take Home 2: The resurrection changes our perspective

  • With all that's happening in our society and current events, what do you focus on?
  • Where might you need a perspective shift today?

Take Home 3: Christianity is tethered to an event

  • Take a moment to reflect. Do you prioritize certain things or activities over the resurrection of Christ?
  • How does the resurrection of Jesus change the way you live your everyday life?
