Stepping In: Getting things started!

1-What were some highlights from the Easter celebration party at the Hemet High Stadium?

2-Share something from the message that really stood out to you.

 

Building Up: What is God Saying?

Read Mark 15:6-15, then answer the following questions:

1-How are we like Barabbas?

2-During the Easter message, Pastor John gave Barabbas’ possible responses to being set free. Which of the first three have you found yourself choosing in the past? (1-Turn yourself back in, 2-Don’t change, 3-Try to earn it.) Where did that option take you or how did it affect you?

3-Discuss all the reasons why the best option, “Humbly Accept it” makes the most sense for us still today.

Read the following verses from the book of Romans (Romans 3:23; 6:23, 5:8; 10:9-10; 6:3-4; 8:1) then answer the following questions:

4-We call these verses, the “Roman Road,” because they show us the road or path to understanding the Good News. Which verse has the most meaning for you personally? Why?

5-Share with your group any questions you have about these verses as they relate to your own salvation. Or…you could talk about how these verses can be helpful to you as you communicate God’s grace to a friend.

 

Living Out: How do I obey?

1-The “day” of Easter may be over for another year, but the purpose and power of Easter still resonates each and every day. How will the reality of Jesus conquering the grave help you THIS WEEK?

2-Celebrate what God did this past Sunday in the stadium and pray for all those who made decisions to follow Jesus. We prayed and prayed before hand, now we need to stop and give thanks!
