SERMON NOTES

I. We still have a hard time believing that death lost.

II. Believing this unbelievably Good News robs death of its power.

III. God has grace for the wonderers who wandered.

 

FOR DISCUSSION AND REFLECTION

- Besides Jesus’ tomb, name something else you’re excited to see empty.

- Why do you think Jesus’ friends had such a hard time believing His promise to rise from the grave?

- Why was it so important for Peter to run to the tomb?

- Jesus restored Peter by giving him a responsibility in and to the kingdom of God. How does God do that when He redeems our lives?

- When did you know that trusting in Jesus would save you from death? If you don’t yet trust Jesus’ power to give eternal life, what’s holding you back?

- What is God saying to you through today's scripture?
