The Case for Christ – Investigating

Skeptics dismiss Jesus by claiming there is no evidence in The Case For Christ. This Sunday begins our 4-week conversation as we start investigating and unveil the strong evidence that exists. Jesus was the Son of God.

Scripture: Acts 8:26-40

Discussion Topics:

1. Like the Ethiopian in Acts 8, have you ever felt that you had a hunger for a deep, authentic personal relationship with Christ, but something stunted your spiritual progress? You’re attracted to a relationship with the God of the universe, but there’s something you can’t seem to get past? How did you get past this point or are you still there?
2. The first sticking point that Pastor Brent covered is when we say, “I can’t believe.” This struggle is often expressed by people with intellectual issues blocking their spiritual path. They have a question or an objection that is stopping them in their journey toward God. Have you met someone like this? Are you someone like this? How do you discuss Christ with someone stuck here?
3. The second sticking point to discuss is: “I don’t want to believe.” Now, few people will come right out and admit this, yet this is a spiritual sticking point that stops a lot of people. Have you met someone like this? Are you someone like this? How do you discuss Christ with someone stuck here?
4. The third sticking point to discuss is: “I don’t want to believe.” Now, few people will come right out and admit this, yet this is a spiritual sticking point that stops a lot of people. Have you met someone like this? Are you someone like this? How do you discuss Christ with someone stuck here?
5. The fourth spiritual sticking point: “I do believe; isn’t that enough?” These people say, “I understand the gospel, and I believe it’s true. But I still feel like I’m at a sticking point. I feel like something is holding me back from experiencing the kind of relationship with God that people talk about around here. Why does God seem to be distant from me? Why can’t I really connect with God?” Have you met someone like this? Are you someone like this? How do you discuss Christ with someone stuck here?
