Welcome							                                                Rev. Jason Baxter
*Call To Worship
  Leader: I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
  People: Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I
  live.
  Leader: The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over
  me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow. Then I called on the name of the
  Lord: “Lord, save me!”
  People: The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compas-
  sion.
  Leader: The Lord protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me.
  People: Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.
  - Psalm 116:1-7

*Collect
  O God our deliverer, you led your people of old through the wilderness
  and brought them to the promised land. Guide now the people of your
  church, that, following our Savior, we may walk through the wilderness
  of this world toward the glory of the world to come; through Jesus Christ
  our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, One God,
  now and forever. Amen.

  All: O God, we are not very good at facing up to the idea of death -- of dy-
  ing to our own plans, to our attachment to the things of this world, to our
  trust in ourselves. We so quickly turn away from Jesus’ call to lay down
  our lives for the sake of the gospel. Yet we know it is only in our dying to
  self that we experience new life in him. If only we could believe! Help our
  unbelief. Amen.
 Pastor: When we are joined to Christ, the past is finished; everything has be-
 come new. Every day our life is given back to us with hope. Accept the forgiv-
 ing, renewing action of God in your life -- and fully live!

           Lazarus and the Life After Life After Death
Text: John 11:1-6, 17-44
Devotion Guide
                          Daily Devotional Guide
                 Lazarus and the Life After Life After Death
Verse of the Week: “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me will live
even though they die. Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
(John 11:25-26 CEB)
Daily Prayer: Lord, in raising Lazarus from the dead you gave us a foretaste of the resur-
rection life you have prepared for us. Help us to live the abundant, eternal life you offer us in the
present; life made possible because you have been risen from the dead and destroyed the power
of sin and death over us. Amen.
Introduction to this week’s Scripture readings: This week’s texts take us into the
rest of John 11 and 12 in anticipation of next week’s message on Jesus washing the disciples’
feet. As you read, examine how the raising of Lazarus affected the crowds, the religious leaders,
and the disciples. How does belief in the resurrection change your approach to life?
Daily Scripture Readings:
Monday –John 11:45-53 - The response of the religious leaders
Tuesday – John 11:54-12:11 - Preparation for the Passover and Jesus’ burial
Wednesday – John 12:12-19 - The triumphal entry
Thursday – John 12:20-43 - Who is the Son of Man?
Friday – John 12:44-50 - A summary of Jesus’ teaching
Saturday – John 13:1-20 - Jesus washes his disciples’ feet
Questions for Reflection/Journaling/Discussion:
1. Reflect on this week’s message on the raising of Lazarus. What did you learn? What ques
   tions did it raise? What challenged you or struck you as important for your life?
2. As you read the Scriptures this week, how are various people responding to Jesus? How
   would you have responded had you been there? How do you respond to Jesus today?
3. Put together a summary of Jesus’ teaching in John. What is the message Jesus conveys
   about himself, about God, about humanity, and about creation?

Intercessory Prayer Guide:
Monday - Pray for those grieving the loss of loved ones.
Tuesday - Pray for those facing serious illness.
Wednesday - Pray for those concerns listed on the TLUMC prayer list this week.
Thursday - Pray for those who may be hostile to Jesus and his offer of new life.
Friday - Pray for religious leaders, that they may be wise and follow Jesus instead of opposing
him.
Saturday - Pray for our worship services on Sunday and for all who will attend.
