HOME CHURCH QUESTIONS

1. As we conclude our study through the Apostles’ Creed, what has been a key takeaway you have found helpful?  Has your view of creeds changed?  Are there any new ways you have used the creed or plan to use the creed? 

2. We believe in the forgiveness of sins (see 1 Cor 15:3 & 17).  To experience forgiveness of sins, we have to be able to recognize our sin.  What are some examples of how people ignore or downplay their sins?  What are some examples of ways you ignore or downplay your sins?  Why is it important we rightly understand our sin?

3. We talked about learning how to “show yourself the receipt” to be
reminded there is forgiveness of sin.  What are some ways you show yourself the receipt, and when have you needed to do this?  What are some key verses we can use to remind ourselves of God’s forgiveness?

4. We believe in the resurrection of the body.  What passage stands out to you from 1 Cor 15 that addresses our future resurrection?  Explain the passage.

5. What do you look forward to most about your resurrected, glorified body?  Why is it important we think rightly about this future resurrection?

6. We believe in life everlasting.  If someone were to ask you what eternal life in heaven will be like, how would you answer?  How would you respond to someone who is concerned heaven will be missing something we are able to enjoy in this life?  Are you concerned about this?

7. One day death will be defeated (see 1 Cor 15:26, 54-57).  How should this truth impact the way we live now (see v.58)?  In what specific area of your life should you live differently since we know death will be destroyed by Christ?


Mission Highlight - The Sansi in India
The Sansi people of northern India still bear the weight of a centuries-old stigma from when they were branded as criminals under British rule. Many live in poverty and isolation, mistrustful of outsiders and unaware of the gospel. With low literacy and few resources, they struggle to survive day to day. Pray that believers would reach them with compassion and that the love of Christ would break the walls of shame and rejection that have bound them for generations.
