"Is It True" - 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 - Nathan Edwards

How can we know the resurrection of Jesus is true? We can know its truth if we ask the question "What if it didn't happen?"

Questions for Personal Reflection:

1. How might you engage someone who says: “it doesn’t matter whether my faith is ‘true’ as long as it helps me feel good and comforts me”?

2. The resurrection means Christianity is a faith that can be fact-checked. Do you think this aspect is a strength or a weakness? How can you use this aspect to share the faith with honest skeptics?

3. Which piece of evidence for the resurrection did you find particularly persuasive? Why?

4. Read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14. How does the fact of the resurrection change the way a Christian faces grief?

5. Read 1 Corinthians 15:30-32. How does the fact of the resurrection change how we can face hardship?

6. Consider an area of anxiety, uncertainty, hardship in your life, how does knowing confidently you belong to the Risen Lord affect your response to that situation?
