The Resurrection is too good of news to be limited to only one Sunday a year. This 6-session Bible study looks at this phenomenal event in detail. It examines how the Resurrection transforms our lives as it grounds our faith and gives us a glimpse of our life to come.

Session One
The Resurrection Is Good News
Our faith is not in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:1-11
When you really think about it, it's astonishing how lightly people take the commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Fact is, sometimes even we who believe it grow a bit dull to what it means. So what does the Resurrection mean?
Session Two
The Resurrection Happened Indeed!
It all comes down to this.
1 Corinthians 15:12-20
When the Greek philosophers were shaping a religion, many of them ditched the body after it died and envisioned immortality as spirits free of the millstone of their bodies. To the contrary, this discussion will show the importance of Christ's bodily resurrection.
Session Three
The Resurrection Is Just the Beginning
This is our lifeline
1 Corinthians 15:20-34
On the other side of the door of Christ's resurrection is our own hope of resurrection, and much more. As we continue our study of 1 Corinthians 15, we will see more of what lies beyond the door of the Resurrection.
Session Four
The Resurrection Body Is Built for Heaven
The seeds come up and bloom.
1 Corinthians 15:35-49
Some people, imagining the afterlife, picture themselves with bodies, but aren't completely sure how that body they're imagining will get there. We can find out more in the Bible's most important chapter on the resurrection: 1 Corinthians 15.
Session Five
The Resurrection Brings Victory over Death
It doesn't sting anymore.
1 Corinthians 15:50-57
Here is why the funeral of a believer ought to be completely different than any other funeral. Here is why Christians should live with a loose grip on life here, and need never tremble at the thought of death. Since Jesus Christ rose from the dead, we who believe in him are assured of two great promises.
Session Six
The Resurrection Allows Unwavering Faithfulness to Christ
There is life after victory.
1 Corinthians 15:58
At the conclusion of this study in 1 Corinthians 15, there is one verse of Scripture that tells us how believing the resurrection should affect the way we live now.This discussion will explore two effects our belief in the resurrection ought to have upon us as Christians.
