Passion Week, or "Holy Week," is the most pivotal week in human history. The gospel writers spend one third of the gospels detailing the last moments of Jesus' life. In the following days, you will read the narrative of Passion Week as it's told by gospel writers. Then you'll read reflections about the narrative. These reflections will help you process the narrative and think about what it means for you.

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 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.

Over the course of Holy Week, we’ll examine eight commands and teachings of Jesus with an eye to understand both why he thought these principles were so important and how the Lord can use them to help us become the people he has created and called us to be. These readings are part of a larger Lenten guide, available on our website, that starts on Ash Wednesday and concludes with Easter Sunday.

Experience holy week with the daily bible reading plan.

Walk with Jesus through the most important week in history with this 8-day video devotional series led by Pastor Jon. Journey from Palm Sunday to Easter, experiencing Christ's triumphal entry, temple cleansing, final teachings, Last Supper, crucifixion, and glorious resurrection. Each day includes a video devotional explaining key events and their meaning for your life today. Choose your intensity: Light (video only, 10-15 min), Moderate (video + one Gospel, 20-30 min), or Vigorous (video + all four Gospels, 45-60 min). Daily reflection questions, action steps, and prayers help you personally engage with Christ's journey through Holy Week.

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.

Stop settling for spiritual mediocrity. This isn't another feel-good devotional—it's a biblical challenge to the passivity killing your purpose. Based on 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, discover what God designed you for: face-to-face relationship with Him, meaningful work, and authentic leadership. From the Garden of Eden to Gethsemane, learn why boys consume but men sacrifice. Each day confronts excuses with Scripture, calling you to embrace responsibility, fight spiritual battles with spiritual weapons, and lead with love instead of laziness. No shortcuts, no participation trophies—just biblical truth for men ready to answer God's call.

Maybe we can't always pick our own adventures, but we can choose purpose, prayer, surrender, discipline, love, and importance.

During this phase Jesus reveals to his committed core of disciples the Father’s master plan for reaching the world.

Jesus said, “In this world we will have trouble.” Chaos, sorrow, confusion and death are very much a part of our earthly experience. At some stage of our lives, it’s likely that we are going to experience deep physical, emotional, mental or spiritual pain. We will know pain of our own, the pain of our family and friends, and the pain of this world.

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.

Lay the foundation of your faith journey as you experience the Bible through the themes of salvation, the Bible, and prayer. In this 16-day reading plan you'll learn how God wants you to connect with Him so you can live life to the full. Explore the topics of salvation (creation, sin, Jesus, repentance and faith, the Holy Spirit), the Bible (reveals who God is and what he has done, tells us about our reconciliation to God, provides instructions for a full life, how we engage the Bible, how the Bible engages us), and prayer (acronym P.R.A.Y.: praise, repent, ask, yield).

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.

God with Us: The Four Gospels Woven Together in One Telling is a captivating new book that looks and feels like a paperback novel. But it’s not a story based on Jesus’ life, with fictionalized embellishment. It is the story of Jesus’ life, told entirely in the words of the four Gospels in the New Living Translation. This reading plan is not the full account of God with Us but takes you through select events during Jesus’ final week as he visits Jerusalem for the last time leading up to his death and resurrection.

See this profound prayer through fresh eyes, and grow in your own sustainable rhythms as you connect with God each day.
