The Summit Church

Use this space to take notes.

What’s something you’ve had to wait a long time for, and was it worth it?

What stands out to you most from this moment of the resurrection story, and why do you think it matters?

When you think about your own life, what are some things you naturally place your hope “in” or “on” besides Jesus?

What’s the difference between hoping that something will happen and placing your hope in Jesus, no matter what happens?

Where in our lives lately do you feel like our hope has become more circumstantial than centered on Jesus?

How would your perspective or daily life actually change if Jesus truly became the center of your hope in every situation?

Closing Prayer:

God, thank You for the resurrection and the hope we have in Jesus. Thank You that our hope is not based on circumstances, outcomes, or what we can control, but on who You are. Help us to shift our focus from hoping for things to work out, to trusting You no matter what happens. Remind us that because Jesus is alive, nothing we face is the end of the story. Strengthen our faith, meet us in our discouragement, and help us live as people who carry Your hope into the world. In Jesus’ name, amen.
