you find in this season that you otherwise would miss?
5. What “no…never” moments have you experienced/are you experiencing in your life?
6. What is God’s “never”? How does this offer encouragement during this season?

9. “When God does something new, He always disrupts something normal.” How might

11. How might you, this week, not “waste your quarantine”? What things might this season
allow you to do that you would not be able to do otherwise?
12. A word of encouragement on what the resurrection means today:
“The resurrection of Jesus is a sign of God’s purpose and power to restore his creation to its
full stature and integrity. Just as death could be seen as the culmination of all that is wrong
with the world, so the resurrection can be seen as a pledge of God’s ultimate victory over
the disorder which plagues his creation on account of the fall. Death is the greatest enemy,
and yet death has been defeated by God through Christ. And so we are given hope that the
remainder of the powers and forces that confront us are similarly being defeated and their
power broken.”
… Alister E. McGrath (b. 1953)
