New City Catechism 2025

A catechism is a fancy word for a set of questions and answers about Bible doctrines. It is a simple, effective way to teach our children (and adults) the BIG truths of the gospel. Join us in 2025 as we jump into these questions and find out the truth that awaits us! 

Week 50: December 14 – 20

Question 50: What does Christ’s resurrection mean for us? Christ triumphed over sin and death so that all who trust in him are raised to new life in this world and to everlasting life in the world to come.

 

1 Thessalonians 4:13–14

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.

For the Parent’s Heart:

  • Read and Meditate on 1 Corinthians 5:12-28
  • How does this passage inform your understanding of the importance of Christ’s resurrection?
  • How does this passage inform how you live your life in God’s present kingdom?

Ask Your Children:

  • What does the word resurrection mean?
  • Why do you think Jesus’ resurrection was so important?
  • Who else will be resurrected in the future?
  • How does that change how you live today?

Reminders:

  • Be sure to check out the playlists below or in the app for helpful songs that your family can listen to for help memorizing these questions and answers.
  • How can you incorporate this question into your normal daily routine? Post it on a mirror in the bathroom, in the kitchen, or in the car where everyone can see it.
  • Bedtime is a great opportunity to review this question and have discussions about it. If you have trouble remembering, set a reminder on your phone or ask your child to remind you to review this week’s question.
