Pastor Sarah and Pastor A.J. dive into the “Gospel according to Paul in a nutshell” from 1st Corinthians 15. What does it mean to believe in vain? What does a faith that lives out the Gospel look like? Paul brings us into the word, speaking about how he was lifeless and in the promise of Jesus’ death and resurrection, he is given new life.
Discussion Questions:
- How do you understand Paul’s comment of being “lifelessly born”?
- Is your theology rooted more in Jesus’ ministry or in Jesus’ death and resurrection?
- What would it look like to you to “believe in vain”?
- How do you view who is included in the Body of Christ?
- What is the Good News?
