Bible Study
Don't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Psalm 98:1-9, Acts 4:5-14, Luke 8:22-25.
Jesus was raised on the "first day of the week" (Sunday). It turned out to be the first day of a whole new world. A new creation with new possibilities and new power. From Acts 3-4, we see the power of the Risen Christ in two ways:
- The Transformation of Peter
- The Healing of the Lame Beggar
- What kind of transformation does the power of the Resurrection make possible? How is this different from other kinds of personal transformation or improvements that a person might seek after?
- Describe the difference between viewing a situation in light of the old creation vs. the new creation? Why is it difficult to see things according to the new creation?
- God's power takes many forms. Can you think of a time when God's power was at work in a situation but it looked different than you imagined?
- Read 2 Cor 12:7-10. How is Paul's experience of Jesus' power similar and different to the power the lame beggar experienced?
