I Believe in the Resurrection (The Creed: Part 4)

Mark Wells

Mark shares from Acts 2:22-40 - the first Christian message of belief - and shows us how Jesus' resurrection is the reason why we can believe the truths that life is a gift, that we have a saviour we can turn to, and that we can love God and live forever.

Read Acts 2:22-40

What stands out to you?

Consider

The resurrection of Jesus is often described as the pivot point of history and eternity. Why do you think this is?

How does the resurrection of Jesus impact our everyday life?

Mark identified 3 commonly held beliefs:

  • Life sucks and then you die.
  • No one is coming to save you.
  • You only live once.

What do these beliefs look like when lived out day to day?

Mark suggests that these beliefs are rewritten by Jesus’ resurrection and become:

  • Life is a gift, and so we have hope.
  • We have a saviour we can turn to.
  • Love God, live forever.

What do these beliefs look like when lived out day to day?

Pray

Spend time praying for each other – that God will reveal more of His truth to any of our beliefs that don’t align with his truth.
