The Tomb Is Empty... Now What?

Sermon Notes

This week, Josh Fortney challenges us to consider how we respond to the new life we have in Christ, urging us to move beyond merely celebrating Easter and Christmas once a year to celebrating the new life we have in Jesus in the way we live daily. Drawing parallels to significant life transitions, such as welcoming a new child or starting a new job, Josh explores Acts 1 & 2 to address the question: "Now what?" the question the disciples had after the Holy Spirit fell upon them. He walks through practical ways believers can actively live out their faith after hearing the greatest news.

  • What are some practical steps we can take to embrace the "new life" we've been given in Jesus? How can we better align our time, priorities, and habits to reflect this new identity?

  • Are we cut to the core and spurred to action by the resurrection? Or have we found ourselves going through the motions of just "doing church"? 

  • In what ways can we integrate regular worship into our lives beyond a Sunday morning at church?

  • Generosity and giving were the responses of those who received new life in Acts 2. How can we adopt a mindset of generosity in our finances, time, and resources?
