Suggested Easter Studies

The following suggest studies would be great to use in your Community Group, especially in lead-up or follow-up to Easter.  The Resurrection is the defining high-point of our faith, upon which all of Jesus’ claims and teachings hinge.  These studies either approach the Resurrection from an apologetic standpoint (defending/giving evidence for), or specifically the importance of the Resurrection in relation to better understanding and appreciating who Jesus is.

All of these studies are available for checkout from the PV library, though quantities are limited.
