DISCUSSION OF WEEK 6 - THE RESURRECTION

INTRODUCTION
We’re going through a study called “Cover to Cover: A 50-Day Flyover of the Bible.” By reading approximately 1-2 chapters a day and watching a few 5-8 minute videos from the Bible Project each week, we’ll discover the answers to some of life's biggest questions and come to a better, more helpful understanding of the Christian faith and the beauty of its promise for the world.  

This week, we’re discussing the readings, videos, and message from Week 6 titled “The Resurrection.”

REVIEW & DISCUSS

1. Did you complete all readings? All the videos?
2. What stood out to you from last week’s readings and videos? Any favorites or most interesting?
3. What inspires you the most about the resurrection of Jesus?
4. Jesus rose Lazarus from the dead in John 11. Jesus said about him “this sickness will not end in death.” What are some other ways that “sickness” plagues us as humans? What does this say about his power in our lives? 
5. Read John 20:22. What was the first act of Jesus with his disciples after his resurrection? What was its significance? (Read Romans 8:9-11)
6. How does having the Spirit of Christ in us who believe in him empower us to overcome our struggles in life?
7. How does the Spirit of the Resurrected Christ empower us to live as the people of God, restoring Eden on Earth?

TAKEAWAY

1. What are some times when evil, hate, darkness, sin or death left you feeling hopeless?
2. In what areas of your life do you need to answer the call of Jesus to rise up and “come out”?

PRAYER
First, take some time to ask people to identify prayer needs related to the discussion. Second, take some time to ask for additional prayer requests. Then close your time together in prayer.
