Parent Conversation Guide (3.30.21)

Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:12-20

Overview:
This week, we are looking at the resurrection according to Paul. The Christians in Corinth were very confused about life after death. Paul makes it very clear to them that if there's no life after death, then Christ cannot have resurrected, which in all reality destroys our faith. We want to encourage our teens this week with the hope and meaning that the resurrection brings to our lives.

What do we want our teens to know?

• The resurrection of Jesus isn't just an event, but rather a life-changing reality.
• Jesus is alive!

What do we want our teens to do?

• Come to accept the reality of Jesus defeating death and providing the hope for eternal life and forgiveness of sins. 
• Be encouraged by this life-changing reality to the point where they are willing to take risks to be a light for Jesus. 

Ways to follow up with your teen this coming week:

• Use the Easter season to have conversations with your teen/family about the signficance of Jesus' resurrection. 
• You can do this by reading an Easter-specific devotion together, or reading through the story of Passion Week from the book of John. 
• Choose another family or a friend together to use the invitation cards to invite someone to come to church for Easter.
