Big Idea: Courage comes from Christ’s presence and promise.
I. Courage through a clear conscience (22:30-23:10)
II. Courage through Christ’s presence (v.11)
III. Courage through Christ’s protection (v.12-22)
IV. Courage through Christ’s promise (v.23-35)
Discussion Questions:
1. How does a clear conscience give a Christian courage, and what tends to rob us of that courage?
2. What does Christ’s presence mean for believers when circumstances do not immediately improve?
3. Why is the resurrection such a central source of Christian courage and hope?
4. How have you seen God’s protection or provision come through ordinary people and everyday circumstances?
5. What does this teach us about trusting Christ’s promises when obedience leads to difficulty rather than relief?
