      prayer table in front of the prayer wall.

*Collect
  God of the resurrection, we thank you for the new life you have given
  Jesus and all who follow him. Through the power of your Spirit, inspire
  us to make a leap of faith into your loving arms. May we believe the
  words of Scripture when they speak of your victory over death, and may
  we accept the promises you make for the future. In Jesus’ name we pray.
  Amen.

Prayer of Confession and Assurance of Pardon
  Redeeming God, you bring life out of dead ends, and hope in the midst
  of despair. Forgive us for doubting that you are still at work even in the
  darkest hour, even in the most painful moments. Forgive us for our hesi-
  tant action, our cautious compassion, our too-frequent reluctance.
  Redeeming God, teach us a stillness that leads to acts of kindness and
  clarity of vision. Shape in us a trust that leads to faithful witness and
  bold compassion. Form us in your love that loosens our worry and eases
  our anger. Make us true disciples filled with love, acting with justice, and
  living out hope. Amen.

Devotion Guide
                                 Eyewitness News
Verses of the Week: “Do you believe because you see me? Happy are those
who don’t see and yet believe” (John 20:29).

Daily Prayer: Resurrected God, by the power of your Holy Spirit, grant us the
trust to believe the Gospel not because we see it but because we have been
seen by it and transformed through it. Amen.

Introduction to this week’s Scripture readings: As we continue the celebration
of Easter this week, the Scripture lessons explore how faith leads to a powerful
and truthful witness.

Daily Scripture Readings:
Monday – Hebrews 11:1-40 - Faith in action
Tuesday – 2 Corinthians 5:1-10 - Walking by faith not by sight
Wednesday – Ephesians 2:1-10 - Saved by grace through faith
Thursday – Romans 10:1-21 - Faith comes by hearing
Friday – Acts 1:1-11 - Witnesses for Christ
Saturday – 1 John 5:1-12 - The testimony about Jesus

Questions for Reflection/Journaling/Discussion:
1. Reflect on this week’s message on Thomas. How are you like Thomas? How
   are you unlike him?
2. How would you define “faith” based on this week’s Scripture readings?
3. Think of your own story of encountering the risen Christ. Practice telling
   that story to somone else and ask God for opportunities to share it with some
   one who doesn’t yet know the good news.
4. Consider the sources of evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. How would
   you describe the evidence for and meaning of the resurrection to someone
   who is unfamiliar with it?

Intercessory Prayer Guide:
Monday - Pray for those who are struggling with doubt and faith.
Tuesday - Pray for an opportunity to witness to someone today.
Wednesday - Pray for those concerns listed on the TLUMC prayer list this week.
Thursday - Pray that the universal Christian church be a bolder and more coura-
geous witness to Christ.
Friday - Pray for Christians around the world who are persecuted for their faith.
Saturday - Pray for those who will attend worship tomorrow, that they would
come to know the risen Christ personally and powerfully.
