This week's "Read This" looks at the Resurrection. While we may struggle with doubt at times and perhaps even question the Resurrection's authenticity, the Resurrection was real.
Author, former reporter for the Chicago Tribune, and former atheist Lee Strobel wrote "The Case for Christ". In it, Strobel investigates the belief in Jesus' death and resurrection with various experts and outlines the proofs he finds. Access a pdf version by clicking below.

Discussion Questions:
- When you imagined yourself in the story, were you more like Peter or John? How so?
- What are the positive aspects of Peter’s response to the Resurrection? What are the positive aspects of John’s response to the Resurrection?
- How do both Peter and John serve as examples of a response to the Resurrection?
- What can we draw from Peter and John’s responses to the Resurrection and apply to our lives?
- Do you believe in the Resurrection? Why or why not?
Actions:
