Luke 24:1-12 Resurrection Matters Rev. Ryan Laughlin

Sermon Discussion Questions

1) After reading over the passage, who are the characters in the narrative? What role do they play?

2) Why should we care that the resurrection matters?

3) What significance does the bodily resurrection of Jesus have on His Church? What is encouraging about it?

4) How does the truth of the resurrection effect our lives today? In what practical ways can it change the way we live on a daily basis and not just Easter Sunday?

5) What does I Corinthians 15:54-57 say about death? How does Christ's death give us victory?

6) The reality of the resurrection of Jesus is the "new normal". What does this imply?

Seven Tips For Staying On Track

1. Read through the Bible together with other people.

2. There will be some passages that you may not find interesting and / or difficult to read. Remember 2 Timothy 3:16-17 as you read these passages: "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be equipped for every good work." Ask yourself why God spoke this particular passage, and how it is profitable to you.

3. Do the whole reading for each day, but look for a "best thought" for each day - something you can ponder the rest of the day, a verse to memorize, something memorable.

4. As you come the Word each morning, ask God to open your eyes to the wonders found in his word.

5. Let your prayers for others flow out of what you read. Pray and read Scripture. After you read a passage, pray that passage for yourself and for others.

6. Some readings will be long and some short. Take advantage of shorter passages by reading them carefully, reflecting, asking questions, praying for answers, engage.

7. Look for ways you can practically live out what you're reading. James 1:22, "But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves."
