SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
-
The sermon distinguished between Platonic “going to heaven” and bodily resurrection. Had you ever thought about that difference before? How does it change the way you think about your body, your work, and your everyday life?
-
Wright says “in the resurrection, nothing will be lost” — every act of love, justice, and community participates in what God is building. What does that do to the way you think about ordinary, unglamorous faithfulness in your current season of life?
-
The middle schoolers taking notes today are evidence of new creation happening in real time. Where have you seen resurrection — life coming from death — inside this community or in your own story?
-
Baptism is described as stepping into resurrection — going under as someone who has died with Christ and coming up as someone raised with him. If you have been baptized, what do you remember about that moment? If you haven’t, what has held you back?
-
The fifty-day Easter challenge: greet people with “Happy Easter” and let them be confused. What would it feel like to practice that this week? What do you think it would open up in conversation?
