READ: John 20:19-29 SHARE: The disciples are behind a locked door and they are gripped with fear and doubt. Then Jesus appears and the fear and the doubt begin to diminish. What is the fear and/or the doubt that grips you today? Do you believe that God’s presence is with you? What do you need to do to focus more on Him and less on the source of your fear?

PRAY: Confess to the Lord what has seized your heart with fear and doubt. Ask Him to increase your faith in Him and for the grace to look to Him during difficult times. !

READ: 2 Corinthians 5:11-21 SHARE: When a person surrenders to Jesus as Lord and Savior, his life is forever transformed; never to be the same, always becoming more like Jesus and given a new calling in life – share Jesus. Shouldn’t the same be true of our homes? Has your home been transformed by the power of Christ? Discuss as a family what might need to change in order for your home to display God’s glory? How could verse 15 become real for your home and your life? PRAY: Ask God to give you wisdom and guidance to enable your home to be a place where the love of Christ is known and the glory of God is displayed to all you encounter. Parents - Refer to the “One Conversation”

page for further discussion with your children.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria,

and to the ends of the earth.” -Acts 1:8

READ: Romans 8:18-32 SHARE: Talk about what it means to be delivered from the bondage of sin and to experience victory in Christ? Who does verse 27 reveal that is praying for Christ-followers right now? (Yes, Jesus!) Verse 29 shows us what God’s ultimate desire for every Christian is and is also the good that God promises in vs. 28. (Right! We are to be the image bearers of Christ to this world.) SALVATION begins the process of sanctification – setting us free from the power of sin and helping us look more and more like Jesus. PRAY: Ask for God to work in the lives of your family to know Christ in SALVATION and to be conformed to His image.
