Holy Week

In Holy Week, we encounter a God who moves ever closer to us, even in our brokenness and shame. Yet what lies before us is a question: will we return to the Lord? This year, through repentance and renewal, let us be ready to greet the Lord at his Resurrection.

This plan is an excerpt from Dwell's Lenten devotional, "Return," available in its entirety within the Dwell Bible App.

Dwell | Holy Week and Easter

Jesus flipped the script on what people expected of God, and of life itself. He changed how we live, how we relate to God, and how we love others. Through simple yet powerful moments, Jesus invited us into a way of life marked by grace, intimacy with God, humility, forgiveness, and radical love.

How Jesus Changed Everything

Can God truly forgive someone like me? This is a question we may have asked or wondered. In this devotional, we will journey through the Bible and explore countless examples of God's forgiveness of those many had written off. This plan will show you God's ability to forgive and love us beyond our sins. It will also show the beauty of love and redemption found in God's forgiveness. 

He Forgives..

In Matthew 26-28, we read in detail about Jesus' suffering, death and resurrection. This reading plan will help you go step by step through this impressive story and discover how these events have great meaning for you as well.

The Death and Resurrection of the King

Holy Week is such an important time of reflection in the Christian life. We pray these devotionals will lead you with joy and anticipation for the risen Christ. As you celebrate today, and every day, remember to be expectant. Remember to serve. Remember the blood. Remember the deafening silence. Remember to be surprised. For in Christ, you have life and you have it abundantly.

Easter - 5 Day Devotional

The events surrounding the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ changed the course of history. Jesus offered redemption so we would never be eternally separated from God our Father. Jesus’ sacrificial death provided for all mankind’s needs — including the forgiveness of sins, healing, eternal life, and much more! This plan dives into the details of what really happened when Jesus triumphed over death, hell, and the grave!


The Defining Moments of Christ's Passion

This week, explore the final days in the life of Christ. If you had one week to live, what would you do? Where would you go? Who would you see? The answers disclose the deepest values of someone’s heart and life. Spend seven days reflecting on the mission and priorities of our Lord and asking yourself if you live by the same. Let's head to the cross together. 

His Last Week

“In these next days and weeks leading up to Easter we’ll explore different scriptures. Each verse a thread in the tapestry of God’s great big redemption story – all culminating in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In this Easter season, let’s slow down and create a regular rhythm of remembrance together.” (Lent – Lucy Weil)

Lent & Easter

As Bible teacher Dr. R.C. Sproul observes, the Christmas story is so familiar to many that “the words just slip over us.” 

These profound Advent readings, taken from Sproul's sermons, delve into the details of the first Christmas and reflect on how they impact our lives now, combining scholarly detail with heartwarming application.

Each day includes a prayer written by a well-known Bible teacher of our own day.

The Advent of Glory by R.C. Sproul: 5 Days Exploring the First Christmas

With all that noise telling us what Christmas should be about, it can be difficult to get to the point—to the heart of Christmas. That’s why, in this devotional, we’ll work to cut through the noise and discover the real meaning behind the season. We’ll look at what brings real joy and purpose in this holiday. We’ll unpack the incredible story behind the birth of Jesus Himself to understand what the purpose of Christmas really is.

No trips on donkeys. No angels singing. Not even a baby in a manger. Yet, there are still 25 gifts God wants to give you for Christmas. We can find them in a little, six-chapter book halfway through the New Testament. These are The Greatest Gifts, as revealed in Ephesians. Along the way, you'll find the gift of love, the gift of salvation, the gift of unity, and many more. Prepare your heart in a special way this Christmas season by receiving, and giving, God's greatest gifts.

The Greatest Gifts

In a brand new devotional series titled, The Reason for the Season, Pastor Jim Cymbala provides fresh insight into the Christmas story. As he addresses the unspoken sadness that many carry at this time of the year, Pastor Jim Cymbala challenges us to think about what would mean the most to Jesus this holiday season.

The Reason for the Season

To help prepare our hearts for the Christmas season, you can start December 1st and spend the next twenty-four days journeying through the Gospel of Luke together. Each day, you will read a chapter, reflect on devotional materials written by members of the Beijing International Christian community, answer questions relevant to your life, and spend time in prayer.

We hope this devotional reminds you of the true reason we celebrate Christmas and becomes something you can share with family, friends, or co-workers as you gather to study God’s Word together.
