Life & Death. You may encounter them both daily, you might even say they are a part of this life. Jesus, though, is the "prince of life": He died and rose again from the dead; He has the final word. Life and death come together in Jesus in a special way. What does that mean for you as a disciple of Jesus? What do you live for? And what would you give your life for?

Are you someone who lives and works at a fast pace? Do you feel irritated when people around you seem to do everything slowly? In this Plan, I hope that we will find wisdom and encouragement as we study Peter’s journey from quick responder to holiness.

This week, we will explore various perspectives on Passion Week through familiar stories found in Mark’s Gospel. Jesus knew His time on earth was ending, so what were His priorities in His final week, knowing He was destined to die? Seeing the things Jesus focused on will help us see what He is most passionate about. Written by Dean Brenton.

This week, we will explore spiritual formation through the lens of Jesus’ Great Commandment (Mark 12:28-34) to understand how we can love Him with every part of our lives. God’s goal for men is not perfection or performance, but transformation. He is shaping your heart, soul, mind, strength, and relationships to look more like Jesus. Written by Dean Brenton.

This 7-day devotional plan explores Jesus’ final week leading to His crucifixion and resurrection through Mark 11–16. Each day examines pivotal events: His triumphal entry, confrontation in the temple courts, teachings on end times, sacrificial acts of love, submission in Gethsemane, suffering on the cross, and victorious resurrection. Rich insights from Mission 66 episodes highlight His humility, authority, fulfillment of prophecy, and boundless love. Reflection questions deepen understanding of Christ’s mission and our response to His sacrifice. Engage with His word daily, rediscovering His redemptive work and hope-filled promise of eternal life.

On Easter, we celebrate the single historical event upon which all of Christianity hinges: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It’s incumbent upon every Christian to know the strong, historical case for the resurrection, and it’s equally incumbent upon every non-Christian to know and weigh the evidence he or she is choosing to reject. Join Dr. Ken Boa in this exploration of the foundational claim of Christianity.

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.

This plan will guide you through the events of each day in Holy Week, from the triumphal entry on Palm Sunday to the resurrection on Easter Sunday.

"From Colt to Cross to Crown" is an eight-day devotional guiding you through the journey of Holy Week. From Jesus’ triumphant entry on a colt to His sacrifice on the cross and victorious resurrection, each day offers scripture, reflection, and prayer to deepen your faith and prepare your heart for Resurrection Sunday.

In this 8-day study, we will walk through the passion narratives and unpack how Jesus and his disciples understood them as fulfillments of Old Testament prefigurations of Jesus. Our starting point is that Jesus himself was the first to point out these scriptural connections to the disciples (Luke 24:44-46). And, just as the Holy Spirit opened their minds to understand the things Jesus taught them, we will ask the Spirit to similarly illumine us (John 14:26; 16:12-15).

For nearly 2,000 years, Christians around the world have set aside the week before Easter to follow our Lord Jesus Christ on his journey to the cross. We call this “Holy Week.” Beginning on Palm Sunday and ending on Easter Sunday, these eight days afford the Church a unique opportunity to reflect on our lives, repent of our sins, and redirect our gaze to Jesus. We’ve put together a reading plan for the events of Holy Week as told in Mark’s gospel.

There was nothing quite like Mark's Gospel before he wrote it. It was a new form of writing he invented for the sake of his message he describes as 'good news'. Mark thinks it's good news. Read his account and decide for yourself.

This reading plan explores the second Gospel. The persecution of Christians was on Mark's mind as he wrote this Gospel. Mark told the story of Jesus' life in ways that strengthened the faith of early Christians and encouraged them to persevere through suffering.

Mark uses the word “immediately” over forty times in his Gospel, emphasizing the intentional nature of Jesus’ ministry. The quick succession of healings and miracles shows that Jesus “came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:44). Through Mark’s Gospel, we are reminded that true greatness in God’s kingdom comes not through selfish ambition, but by being the servant of all.

“What is life all about?” is the question currently resonating in people’s hearts. As Christians, we have the answer to this question. Jesus is the answer to all the big questions of life. For Easter 2022, Bible Society Australia will facilitate a nationwide conversation about Jesus. Join us as we step forward with a renewed purpose and proclaim the centrality of Jesus to our nation.
