Pastor John Lane

​

Scripture: Ephesians 2:1-10, Colossians 3:1-11

​

1.  If someone were to ask you why the resurrection of Jesus matters, what would you say? 

​

2.  Read Ephesians 2:1-10 and Colossians 3:1-11, focus on the truth of us being "raised with Christ" - what do you think Paul is saying about our connection to Christ and the impact in our lives? 

​

3.  If faith is the "velcro" that attaches us to Jesus, what needs to die in you in order to be brought to new life? 

​

4.  How would our identity as "raised to life" people impact our everyday life if we actually believed this to be true? 

​

5.  What is the risen Christ trying to say to you about your connection to him at this point in your life?

​​​​​​​​​Raised to Life: Quickened by His Spirit

Pastor John Lane

​

1 Corinthians 15:45-49, Romans 8:11, John 5:21

 

1.  Are there any old words that you really like that most people don't know the meaning of? 

​

2.  Have you heard of the word: Quicken?  And if so, in what context? What does it mean?

​

3.  Read 1 Corinthians 15:45-49.  What is Paul comparing between Adam and Jesus?  What is Paul contrasting between Adam and Jesus?

​

4.  What does it mean that Jesus became a life giving (quickening) spirit? What are the daily implications of having a life giving spirit who walks with you?

​

5.  Where in your life are you being encouraged to show more Jesus through you?
