Living the Resurrection of Christ Jesus in Daily Life

In this episode, we reflect on what Christ Jesus accomplished through His death and resurrection—and what it truly means to live out the Resurrection in our everyday lives. Drawing from Scripture, insights by Matt Perman, and practical examples, we explore how ordinary moments become sacred when surrendered to God. This episode invites you to place your daily life—your routines, responsibilities, and relationships—before God as an offering, and to walk in the transforming power of the risen Christ.

Reflection Questions:

1. When you think about the Resurrection of Christ Jesus, which aspect of His work — expiation, propitiation, reconciliation, redemption, or victory over darkness — feels most personal to you right now? Why?
2. Galatians 2:20 says Christ lives in you. What would change in your daily life if you truly lived from that reality instead of striving in your own strength?
3. Where do you sense the Holy Spirit inviting you to “place your everyday, ordinary life before God as an offering”?
4. Brother Lawrence practiced the presence of God in simple tasks. What ordinary moments in your day could become opportunities for communion with God?
5. What cultural patterns or habits tend to pull your attention away from God, and how might you “fix your attention on Him” more intentionally?
6. In what area of your life do you need to trust the resurrection power of God — the same power that raised Jesus from the dead — to strengthen, guide, or transform you?
7. How does remembering that Elijah “was a man with a nature like ours” encourage you in your own walk of faith?
8. What is one practical step you can take this week to “no longer live for yourself, but for Him who died and was raised”?
