1. Bro. Neil emphasized that gratitude and the gospel are inextricably woven together -- in what ways does a deeper understanding of what Christ has done for you personally change how you approach daily life and worship?

2. Paul urges believers not to be uninformed or ignorant about what God's Word says concerning death and resurrection -- what areas of Scripture do you tend to avoid or neglect studying, and how might that ignorance leave you unprepared during life's hardest moments?

3. The Scriptures draw a distinction between grieving with hope and grieving without hope -- how does the resurrection of Jesus Christ practically change the way a believer experiences loss compared to someone who does not know Christ?


4. Pastor Neil connected Christ's resurrection directly to the future resurrection of believers, arguing that one guarantees the other -- how confident are you in the resurrection as the foundation of your faith, and what would it mean for your life if that foundation were removed?

5. Paul instructs believers to encourage one another with the truth of Christ's return and the resurrection -- who in your life needs to hear this message of hope right now, and what is holding you back from sharing it with them?
