Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Luke 23:35

Our God is the God of second chances. This 7-day devotional is about redemption and God's restorative power. If you feel like you are too far gone for His grace, this is the devotional for you.

As Jesus made his way to Calvary, he met all kinds of people. Their reactions to him revealed what they believed, and the same is true today. Consider your own life in light of the Passionate Denier, the Pardoned Insurrectionist, the Convinced Centurion, and many more. Some people changed for the better, and some for the worse. When we encounter Jesus, like them, we will never be the same.

Welcome to our Easter Devotional! Over the next seven days, we’ll follow the Easter story, from Jesus’ betrayal through those moments on the cross and right into that empty tomb. Day 5 & Day 7 include an activity. The devotional can be completed with or without these practical activities. Keep an eye out on these days for what's required.

Experience the profound Easter tradition of retracing Jesus' journey from the Last Supper to his resurrection through the Stations of the Cross. Though the number of stations may vary, the purpose remains constant: preparing hearts for the Easter celebration. Reflecting on Jesus' final moments offers insights into his priorities, guiding us to take up our own crosses and follow his example.

Join us as we seek to engage in Holy Week in a more meaningful way. These devotionals will have verses associated with what Christ did each day leading up to the crucifixion. As well as ways that you can personally reflect and act on what you have read.

Traditionally, in the third week of Advent, we celebrate the “joy” of Christ’s arrival. Over the next week of these devotionals for men, we will examine the emotion of joy in several different biblical contexts. We pray that you will find joy in life's victories, but also in darkness, in times of emptiness, and in any uncertainty or pain, by God's grace. Written by Brad Klassen.

This plan takes you through an immersive experience of well-known passages about Jesus. The objective is to place you in the scene like you were there that day and let the glory of Jesus Christ shine afresh on your heart. Sometimes, we read a passage so often that the wonder and greatness of what Jesus did and who He is doesn't touch our hearts like it used to. This plan aims to set your heart on fire for Jesus again!

The Kingdom of God is free but there is also a cost to be paid.

The Lent Project is an initiative of Biola University's Center for Christianity, Culture and the Arts. Each daily devotion includes a portion of Scripture, a devotional, a prayer, a work of visual art or a video, a piece of music, and a poem plus brief commentaries on the artworks and artists. The Seven Last Words of Christ refers to the seven short phrases uttered by Jesus on the cross, as gathered from the four Christian gospels. This devotional project connects word, image, voice and song into daily meditations on these words.

No matter where you are in your faith journey, the Easter story has the power to change your story. In this seven-day Plan we’ll walk with Jesus through the events leading up to His death on the cross and His resurrection. Along the way, we’ll explore how His words and actions invite us to know Him, follow Him, and experience His love in a personal way.

This Easter, we are looking at everything Jesus said on the cross leading up to His last words. What do they tell us about who He is and what He did for us?

In Last Words of Jesus, we will walk through each of the seven final phrases uttered by Jesus in the moments leading up to His death on the cross. These beautiful and sobering words have the power to shape our understanding of Christ and all that He endured on our behalf, preparing us to further celebrate the miracle of Easter.

Arrested in that garden, Jesus endured two sham trials and the most unjust verdict in all history. The Creator of the cosmos, crucified by His creatures on a hill outside Jerusalem. From that awful site, Christ would speak His “last seven words.” You’ll find reflections on each of these seven words in the following pages. As you read these devotional articles, we pray that you’ll ponder their significance and gain encouragement from the promise of the hope that blooms eternally.

Over these 7 days, we are going to focus on the seven sayings of Jesus.  We want to go to the cross and we want to draw some principles, some disciplines, and some habits that we can begin to implement in our lives to help us grow stronger in our walk with the Lord. We want to zoom into these sayings and pay attention to the words not of a dying man but of our Lord and Saviour.  Join us on this journey together as we approach Resurrection Sunday 2025.

Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday and ends with Easter Sunday. By following Christ's footsteps through daily scripture readings, take your own spiritual journey and prepare your heart for honoring him this Easter.

It’s hard to imagine what Jesus was thinking and feeling in the days leading to cross, but one thing we do know—his trust and assurance in the goodness and faithful love of God. Take a journey this Holy Week through the gospels, walk with Jesus, ask God a simple question, and encounter the vast love of God.

The historical events recorded in John 18–20 provide a vivid account of the first Easter. In this eight-day plan, Alistair Begg considers the meaning and relevance behind events like Jesus Christ’s surrender in Gethsemane, His death on a cross, and the empty tomb that He left behind.

You are beginning a journey through the most important week in history. Come along with us and recline with Jesus at the Passover table, linger in the silence of Holy Saturday, and experience the joy of Jesus’ Resurrection. Each day, we’ll look at what the gospels say about the events of Holy Week and walk through a simple prayer. We’ll follow the S.O.A.P. study method: Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer.

This plan centers around three individuals about to take their final breath. A theme that appears unattractive until eight words changed everything. Words that gave "The Promise of Heaven." Taken and adapted from "The Promise" by P. J. Meduri (Taking the Field Ministries), this promise is still available today. A promise from the God who loves you, created you in his image, and desires to have a relationship with you.
