My Story  

1. Can you remember your first Easter experience in church? What stood out to you?  

2. If someone were to ask you why you believe in the resurrection of Jesus, how would you respond? What reasons would you give for your confidence?  

Going Deeper  

1. Read 1 Corinthians 15:3-7. Why do you think Paul includes the number of eyewitness accounts to the risen Jesus? Why is eyewitness testimony so important?  

2. Read 1 Corinthians 15:14, 17. Why is the resurrection of Jesus so absolutely necessary and central to the Christian faith?    

3. Read John 20:3-8. What is the connection between seeing and believing? How can we have confidence in our faith without knowing ALL the answers?
