Christ Has Died

Speaker: Matt Boswell Series: Resurrection Story Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:1–4

In this three-week series called “Resurrection Story”, we will explore the climactic center of the story of Scripture: the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Our text will be 1 Corinthians 15:1-20. We will summarize the entire story of Scripture, and the resurrection story specifically, by highlighting three explicit phrases: Christ has Died, Christ is Risen, Christ Will Come Again.

Before we get to the glory of Easter, we must understand the weight and importance of Good Friday: Christ has died in the place of sinners. This is our message, our hope, our story, our song. Today, we look at the first four verses of 1 Corinthians 15 and highlight three things: 1. The Good News of Christ’s Death, 2. Christ Died for Our Sins, and 3. Christ Died in Accordance with the Scriptures.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

  1. How would you summarize the whole story of Scripture?
  2. How can we know if Christ is of first importance in our lives?
  3. Discuss the doctrines of substitutionary atonement and propitiation. (Explain these words in everyday language.) Why does this matter?
  4. What connection is there between Christ dying for our sin and us dying to our sin?
  5. Are you searching the Scriptures to know Christ more?

PRAYER

Pray that we would walk in the newness and life that is ours because Christ has died in our place.

Pray for the one person in your life who needs to know saving faith in Christ.
