Bring the question to Jesus honestly and directly

Avoid the question because faith should never be tested

Treat the question as unimportant because the other person is already mistaken

Try to win the argument before you have really listened

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and I need your mercy. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you as my living Lord. Give me new life and lead me in your truth. Amen.

Come to the Living Lord

Father, revive your Church with the hope of Jesus' resurrection. Where we have grown timid, skeptical, or silent, breathe fresh faith into us and make us steady witnesses to the life that is stronger than death, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Awaken Your Church to Living Hope

Give thanks for the truth that death is not the final word, for the hope that steadies grief and fear, and for the living Lord who holds out resurrection life.

Thanks for the Hope That Outlives Death

Pray by naming one question about resurrection or hope beyond death, asking Jesus to meet you in it, and then asking for humility to listen and courage to keep seeking.

Pray Through a Hard Question

Pray for people who struggle to believe in resurrection, that they would meet patient believers, honest answers, and the living Jesus himself.

For Those Who Deny Hope

Lord, you are Lord over death and the giver of living hope. We worship you for your patience with honest questions and for the resurrection life you hold out to all who trust you, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Praise the Lord Over Death
