Apr. 1 - April Truths (Mt. 27:62-28:15)
First listen to the sermon (posts Sun. afternoon). Then use the ideas below to help you and your group apply what the Lord is teaching you.
Icebreaker idea: Share a good Easter memory or something you enjoy about spring.
A way to pray: Thank God for the truths of the crucifixion and resurrection (that these are not a hoax!). Pray for those whose lives we long to see transformed by these realities as we seek to see 2,000 people by 2022 baptized and growing in relationship with Jesus.
For discussion:
- Treasuring God: What is one thing I appreciate as I reflect on the details of how Jesus' resurrection took place?
- Being Transformed: When in my life have I tried to obscure God's truth? How can I promote truth instead?
- Loving Others: When have I had a chance to love someone by sharing the good news of Jesus' resurrection with them? What did it look like practically?
- Pursuing Unity: How does the resurrection encourage Jesus' followers in everyday life? Who needs me to encourage them right now?
