Everyone has questions. Some questions we can find the answer with a quick search on Google. Other questions are more intimidating. Questions that surround our faith can be scary because we worry about what the answer might be and whether or not those answer will affect our faith. What ends up happening is that we ignore the question, but that question still lingers in the back of our mind.

In Asking for a Friend we want to look at a few of these questions and see if there is a way to provide an answer to them that will not only strengthen our faith, but also help us see the world through a more Christian perspective.

The truth of Christianity hinges the question: Did Jesus really rise from the dead? In other words, if Jesus remained in the tomb, then Christianity is not true. If Jesus did rise from the dead, then following him is the most important thing in our lives. There is good evidence for believing that the resurrection of Jesus did happen.

Text: 1 Corinthians 15:16-28

Big Idea: The reality of the resurrection empowers us to live lives of hope and purpose.

Challenge: Write out the reasons you believe the resurrection of Jesus happened and be prepared to share them.
