We are talking about Jesus (Skit)
‍
These are the questions we are asking:

  • Who is Jesus to you?
  • If a friend asked you what you think is good about Jesus, what would you tell them?
  • What do you think is an important question to ask about Jesus?
  • The defense lawyer showed that Jesus fulfilled over 300 prophecies from the Bible—including things He couldn't control, like where He was born! What does that tell us about whether Jesus is real?  
  • Imagine you are a jury member in the courtroom today. Based on what you heard, who do you think Jesus is to you?
  • If you were on the jury today, what piece of evidence or argument stood out to you the most, and why?
  • If Jesus truly resurrected, what does that tell you about Christianity? 
  • Fillipo shared how getting picked on at school made him feel like God wasn't listening. Have you ever felt like things were unfair at school? How does it feel if Jesus is the one who paid the consequence?

We are going through the Alpha Youth Series - Episode 2 Jesus

These are the questions we are asking:

  • Who is Jesus to you?
  • If a friend asked you what you think is good about Jesus, what would you tell them?
  • What do you think is an important question to ask about Jesus?
  • How do you know if something is true?
  • Do you think you should believe everything you see on social media?
  • Can you think of some really weird but true facts?
  • Why do you think Jesus is so famous?
  • What is Jesus most known for?
  • What stands out most to you about Jesus?
  • Fillipo (Witness 1) argued that because there is suffering in the world and corrupt people in the Church, God must not exist. How did the Defender separate the actions of flawed human beings from the character of Jesus Himself?
  • Dr. Cere (Witness 4) claimed Jesus was just a "great moral teacher" or philosopher. Based on the quotes where Jesus claimed to be God, why is it logically impossible to call Him just a good teacher?
  • When cross-examining the Prosecutor, the Defender brought up that 11 of the 12 Apostles died painful deaths for their testimony. Why is it significant that they were willing to die?
