Jesus saved you and gave you everything you need to keep believing.
2 Corinthians 5:21
For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:18
The message of the cross (what I just explained) is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.

Discussion Questions
1. 1 Corinthians 1:18 says that the message of Jesus sounds “foolish” to some people. Was there a time in your life when you thought Christians or the Bible, or church was foolish? What changed?
2. Can you share an example of a time you felt like the Holy Spirit helped you to learn an important truth about God or yourself?
3. When you’re going through troubling and painful experiences, how often do you think about heaven? Does knowing that there will be no problems in heaven make you feel any better?
