Devotionals for April 14, 2023
New series coming up this Sunday! Join us at 9:00 and 10:30am.
READ
LUKE 24:6-7
6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that he would rise again on the third day.
REFLECT
As Christians, we believe in the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This miraculous event represents the ultimate victory of God over sin and death.
Because of Christ’s atoning work on the cross, we can live victorious lives, overcome sin and temptation, and help bring hope and healing to a broken world. As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, we are reminded that the same power that raised Him from the dead is available to us today.
APPLY
Q: How does the resurrection of Jesus impact your daily life and the way you approach challenges and difficulties?
Q: How can you live in light of the hope of the resurrection in your relationships, work, and other areas of your life?
Q: How can you share the message of the resurrection with those around you, and help them understand the significance of this event for their own lives?
SING

PRAY
"And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one."
Father God we thank you that you are the great rescuer. We praise you for the victory that Jesus won over sin through His death and resurrection, and for the promise of new life that it offers to us. May we be transformed by your Holy Spirit and empowered to overcome sin and temptation in our lives.
We pray for those who have not yet experienced your salvation, that they would come to know the hope of new life in Christ. May your love and grace shine through us as we share your Word with those around us.
