  1. What was something that stood out to you from this past Sunday’s message? Share what you learned and how it will impact your life.

  2. Read Acts 1:1-3 and 1 Corinthians 15:3-7. Luke, the author of the Book of Acts, tells us in Acts 1:3 that Jesus “proved to them in many ways that he was actually alive.” Why is it essential that this verse establishes Jesus' resurrection as a proven historical fact?

  3. What lesson can we learn when Jesus appeared to the unnamed disciple on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24:13-35?

  4. In Luke 24:39 and John 20:27, Jesus invited His disciples to touch and see Him up close. In John 21:12-13, Jesus fed His disciples as He did by the Sea of Galilee. Christ displayed patience with the disciples’ moments of disbelief and lack of understanding. In what areas has Christ displayed patience with you?

  5. In the Bible, "40" is the number that signifies preparation and transition. What do you sense that the Lord is preparing in you?

  6. Where do you sense that God is leading you?

  7. What are some areas of your life where you are experiencing a transition?

  8. Read Matthew 28:19. Another reason Jesus stayed on earth after the resurrection was to teach His disciples and prepare them to tell the world about Him. "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations." Is this command still relevant? Are you seeking to share His message of salvation with others?

  9. Share an answered prayer or breakthrough as you went through the 40-day journey with the Lord.
