Opening Prayer: Holy God, thank you for your resurrected Son. Help us have a deeper understanding of the power and importance of Jesus’ resurrection in our day-to-day lives. In the Name of Your risen Son, Amen.

Read: Romans 4:25-5:11

Reflect: Paul tells us a lot of consequences of Jesus death and resurrection, what are the specific consequences of his resurrection?  How does the resurrection effect our relationship with God?

Prayer: for the church, for others, and for myself

Hymn: “Worship Christ, the Risen King”
Rise, O Church, and lift your voices;
Christ has conquered death and hell.
Sing as all the earth rejoices;
Resurrection anthems swell.
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the Risen King!

See the tomb where death had laid Him;
Empty now, its mouth declares:
“Death and I could not contain Him,
For the throne of life He shares.”
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the risen King!

We acclaim Your life, O Jesus;
Now we sing Your victory.
Sin and Hell may seek to seize us,
But Your conquest keeps us free.
Stand in triumph, stand in triumph;
Worship Christ, the risen King!

Closing Prayer: Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!…To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!…Amen (Rev. 5:12-14)
