BOTTOM LINE:We celebrate Easter because of the resurrection.

C H A T

How are you doing this week? What plans have you had to postpone or possibly cancel? How have you or your family been dealing with all the changes to your routines?

What do think of when you hear the word Easter? What does a normal Easter Sunday or weekend look like in your family? Do you know what it will look like this year? How does this make you feel?

R E F L E C T I O N*It can be helpful to write down your thoughts

Read together: Luke 22:66 – 24:7

What are your thoughts about the story you just read or heard?

What does the Easter story mean to you personally?

Has there ever been a time in your life where you put your faith and trust in Jesus? If yes, what has your story looked like since then? If not, what keeps you from making that decision?

When's the last time (if ever) you shared the story of Jesus' death and resurrection with someone else? If you have - what happened?

Read Romans 10:9-10.

Why do you think Scripture doesn't say that believing in Jesus is enough? Why is "declaring" or “confessing” it important too?

This may be extra challenging due to our current situation, but what’s one way someone could make their belief in Jesus public?

This week, how can you celebrate the victory Jesus had over death and sin?
