About the Series

What About…?

You've asked the questions. Your friends have asked them. So have your kids. What About…? takes the hardest ones - other religions, suffering, science, the next generation - and refuses to flinch. Every answer traces back to the same anchor: if the resurrection is true, there is no other name.

Discussion Guide - Quick View

The structure of this week's bible study, at a glance - useful for prepping the group meeting in five minutes or skimming to decide whether the arc fits your group's need.

This Week's Anchor "If the resurrection is true, there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved."

Eight Discussion Questions

1. DO vs. DONE

Edwin opened by contrasting every world religion (spelled D-O) with Christianity (spelled D-O-N-E: Jesus finished the work). Why do you think that distinction matters so much? Where have you felt the weight of trying to earn your way with God?

2. The real question - does the Resurrection change everything?

Edwin said if Jesus rose from the dead, it changes everything. Where in your own journey did the Resurrection start to change how you see Jesus' exclusive claim? Or is that still a wrestling match?

3. Religious mixing - syncretism close to home

Edwin described real churches in Guatemala where families practice animal sacrifices to sun/moon/rocks while calling themselves Christians. Where in your own culture or family do you see religion being mixed together in ways that dilute Jesus' uniqueness?

4. Paul at the Areopagus - engaging seekers respectfully

When Paul encountered the Athenians with their altar to an unknown god, he acknowledged their sincere seeking, then proclaimed the real God. How does that example change the way you talk to friends exploring other faiths?

5. Number one - what's competing for that seat?

Edwin was direct: "He wants to be number one in our lives. Nobody else is going to take his place. We are going to be dreaming about Jesus, breathing Jesus, and our words are going to proclaim Jesus all the time." What's competing with Jesus for number-one status in your life right now?

6. The cost is real - what's your thorn?

Edwin told of a pastor friend jailed eighteen times for preaching the gospel in the Middle East. He said, "We don't have that problem here. We have other challenges - the things that take our attention away from Jesus." What's your thorn - the distraction pulling your eyes off Jesus most consistently?

7. The church is already paid for - adding or subtracting?

Edwin closed with the refrain: "It's paid for. It's paid for. We don't have to pay for it." How does that reality reshape the way you think about your own small role in building His church? Are you adding or subtracting?

8. Faith family on mission - welcoming the wrestling

We're a faith family on mission. How can this group be a place where someone wrestling with the exclusivity of Jesus feels welcomed - not lectured, not rushed to conviction, but genuinely heard?

Three Application Steps

Edwin gave us three priorities that reshape everything. Walk your group through these honestly:

  1. Make Jesus number one. Not just in words, but in where your mind goes first, what you sacrifice for, what you talk about. List the top three competitors for that slot in your life right now.
  2. Count the cost. Discipleship is not free, though forgiveness is. What's one cost you're facing right now that following Jesus asks of you?
  3. Build up the church. Jesus is building His church and has already paid for it. Identify one way this week you can add to that building.

Six Key Takeaways

  • Christianity is not one option among 4,200. It is fundamentally different - the message is DONE, not DO.
  • Jesus made an exclusive claim: "I am the way, the truth, and the life." That's not mean. That's love telling the truth.
  • Religious syncretism - mixing Jesus with other gods or practices - sounds tolerant but actually dishonors the real Jesus.
  • Making Jesus number one means your dreams, your breath, your words are all about proclaiming Him.
  • The cost of discipleship is real. But it's nothing compared to what Jesus already paid.
  • The church is not our project to save. It's His project, already paid for. Our job is to build it up, not tear it down.
