ROUTE 55 DINNER FOR SIX
Several Route 55-ers will be hosting a "Dinner For 6", and they would love to have you as their guest! Here is how it will work: After you sign up as a guest, you will be contacted by a host family.  You will need to bring either a salad, side dish or dessert, along with whatever you plan to drink.  The host will prepare the main dish.  We are proposing the dinners take place during the week of April 13th, the specific date and time to be determined by the host.  You as a guest will have an opportunity to gather for a meal with 4 or 5 other people from TMP for food and getting to know each other better.
If you are interested in participating in a "Dinner for 6" in April, please RSVP here by Tuesday, April 7th and we'll get you connected!

Our Vision: to be people who are all about unleashing God's extravagant love on this city and around the world.
Our Mission is simple: to equip people to love God and love others - everyday, everywhere.

Many people have set out to write accounts about the events that have been fulfilled among us. They used the eyewitness reports circulating among us from the early disciples. Having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I also have decided to write an accurate account for you, most honorable Theophilus, so you can be certain of the truth of everything you were taught. Luke 1:1-4

The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment. Luke 23:55-56

But very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’” Then they remembered his words. So they rushed back from the tomb to tell his eleven disciples - and everyone else - what had happened.

It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and several other women who told the apostles (Jesus’ closest followers) what had happened. But the story sounded like nonsense to the men, so they didn’t believe it. However, Peter jumped up and ran to the tomb to look. Stooping, he peered in and saw the empty linen wrappings; then he went home again, wondering what had happened. Luke 24:1-12

If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless. 1 Corinthians 15:13-14

1. What stood out to you most from the message - and why do you think that stuck with you?

2. When you hear the Easter story, what do you naturally feel or think - curiosity, doubt, belief, skepticism, something else? Why? When did you first hear the Easter story?

3. Can you think of a “this changes everything” moment in your own life? How did it shape who you are today?

4. Read Luke 24:9-11 The first people to hear about the resurrection thought it sounded like nonsense. What would you have thought if you were in that room?

5. What do you think keeps people from fully exploring the story of Jesus—lack of evidence, past experiences, fear of change, something else? Which of those do you relate to most?
