Sermon Discussion Questions [ PowerPoint Slides ]

What is the most incredible event that you have ever witnessed? Is it easy or difficult for you to convince others that it really happened?

Who did Jesus send to tell you of His resurrection from the dead? Did you have trouble believing them or have you always accepted it as fact? Do you think the women in this scripture (verse 8) believed the angel? How did their actions support your answer?

Did you find this morning’s sermon, “How we Know He Rose” to be compelling? Are you one who thinks logical proofs and rationale are important to your faith, or do you think it’s more a matter of faith, without the need for a lot of concrete arguments? In other words, if you didn’t think this morning’s sermon was compelling, does it make you wonder and hope that there are better explanations? Where does that leave you if there aren’t?

If someone asked you, “How do you know that He rose?”, how would you respond? Do you think other religions have good responses to why they believe what they believe, or is our rationale for the resurrection more convincing than what others believe? Are you stumped by that question?

How would your life be different if Jesus had not risen from the dead?
