Title: The Risen Christ

Scripture: John 20:19-31

Icebreaker: What is a praise you have from this summer? 

Summary: This passage recounts Jesus' appearance to His disciples after His resurrection, emphasizing the themes of doubt, faith, and the transformative power of encountering the risen Christ.

Questions:

1. Why do you think the disciples were hiding behind locked doors, even after hearing about the resurrection? What does this say about how fear can grip us, even in the face of hope?

2. What does Jesus' greeting of “Peace be with you” mean to you personally in times of fear or uncertainty? How has He brought peace into your own life?

3. Why do you think Thomas struggled to believe the others’ testimony?

4. What doubts have you wrestled with in your own faith journey?

5. How does believing in Jesus give your life purpose and meaning, especially in difficult or uncertain times?

Closing: Take some time at the end as a large group or smaller groups praying for each other. Ask, " What is one thing I can pray for you over the next month?"
