Message Questions: Luke 24:26-49
- Christians believe the dead in Christ will rise. Name one person (apart from Jesus) you look forward to seeing again and explain why.
- What do you make of this resurrection body that “out of thin air appears among them” and can be touched and can eat fish? How do you imagine resurrection will play out for you?
- Jesus insisted that the whole Bible—Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms—were written about him. (See v. 44.) How convinced are you of this? What’s your evidence for or against?
- “And repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations…” Why is repentance so important? What does real repentance look/feel like?
- Do you feel like v. 48 applies to you? Why or why not. If so, what has that looked like in your life?

Colossians 3:18-4:1 -Paul closes his letter by showing how following Jesus transforms our everyday relationships—with spouses, children, parents, employees, and employers—and calls us to care for one another with kindness.
Colossians 3:12-17-Sometimes Christianity gets known for what we don’t do. But Paul points us toward something better: how we live, love, and treat one another. What marks a genuine Christian community? It all starts with who God is and how deeply He loves us.
Colossians 3:5-11-Paul points to two areas that reveal who we are at the deepest level: sex and speech. The path to health and freedom isn’t harsh rules or self-focus, but staying close to Jesus, knowing him and growing in him. Christianity isn’t harsh rules; it’s a vibrant friendship.
Colossians 2:20-3:4 - Religious baggage can pull us in all kinds of directions—from expecting God to fit our preferences to trying to earn His approval. Paul’s message to the Colossians was simple: stop guessing what God wants and get back to the core of Christianity—Jesus.
Colossians 2:13-19 - Humans have a problem that we can’t save ourselves from—not through secular programs or religious systems. The good news of Jesus is that on the cross, Jesus dealt with it all. In him we are alive, forgiven, and free!
Colossians 2:8-12 - Paul warns the Colossian church not to trade the freedom found in Christ for religion or spiritual experiences. Jesus is more than enough.
