Brian: Looking forward to praising God together again this coming Sunday.  You've probably noticed some new faces on stage singing and playing instruments. Last week we were pleased to welcome Walt Harper, playing acoustic guitar. Keep in mind that we're always looking to add to the list of people who participate on worship team, band, and tech volunteers.  Feel free to email me (brian@timberlakechristian.org) if you are interested in being plugged into the worship ministry in some way!

TITLE: “What's a Cross Without an Empty Tomb?”

TEXT:  Matt. 26-28; Mk. 14 - 16; Lk. 22-24; Jn. 18 - 21; Rom. 6:1-4

IN A NUTSHELL:  Several people watched Jesus die on the cross. Only a few realized what was happening. Some were drawn to Him because of what He taught, how He lived and even how He died; but from those that became convinced of the empty tomb there came a revolution!

A few questions to consider:

  1. How did the two thieves on the cross respond to Jesus on the cross?
  2. How did Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea respond to Jesus at His death?
  3. What were the various responses of the twelve disciples after Jesus resurrection?  (especially, John, Peter Peter at Galilee, and Thomas)
  4. Do you tend to live your Christian life on the basis of guilt and conviction or new life and confidence? 
  5. Take a few minutes to draft two lists:
    1. reasons you love Jesus and believe He rose from the dead
    2. sins you struggle with and what makes you feel guilty
  6. Which list was easier to make?  This may reveal if you tend to focus on the cross, without the empty tomb.  It’s very noble to recognize Jesus’ sacrifice.  It’s revolutionary to believe in and seek to live out His resurrection!
