https://cckc.church/ocCONVERSATION STARTERS
Conversation Starters help us dig deeper, connecting Sunday’s sermons with our Monday lives. Please know that these questions are meant to be a resource. You do not have to follow them verbatim or get through them all. We trust you to know your group and to ask the questions based on your group needs.
1. What questions or hardships in your life have challenged your belief in God’s goodness and power?
2. Read John 20:24-31 silently or aloud.
3. Thomas stuck around for eight whole days even when he didn’t believe what the other disciples believed about Jesus’ resurrection. What keeps us in community with God’s people even when we have doubts?
4. What do we learn about Jesus in this passage?
5. What does this passage say about what it means for believers to follow Jesus as king?
6. How does this passage encourage and/or challenge you?
PRAYER PROMPT
Pray for one another as the questions, doubts, and wrestling arise, and allow the Holy Spirit to remind you of Jesus’ living presence among you even as you gather. Pray for those in our church community, whether guests or regulars, who are wrestling to believe that Jesus is who he says he is.

> Where is Christ now?
> Jesus reigns from heaven for us.
"[Jesus] sits at the Father's right hand — not to rest, but rule. The picture is not of inactivity but authority." - J.I. Packer
> The Ascension means: Jesus is a King like no other
Question: What are your political views?
Answer: Jesus is King!
Answer: Jesus is King!
> It is not for you to know…
> The Ascension means: Jesus sends us to share the best news
"Jesus calls his followers to “go into all the world’ (Mark 16:15). This of course has long been interpreted geographically…but the Great Commission can also be interpreted in terms of sociological structure. The church is to go into all realms of social life: in volunteer and paid labor–skilled and unskilled labor, the crafts, engineering, commerce, art, law, architecture, teaching, health care, and service. Indeed, the church should be sending people out in these realms…" - James Hunter
> The Ascension means: Jesus will return to be with us forever
