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

Most of us have heard the Easter story: Jesus Christ, Son of God, died on the cross and rose again. This story is the backbone of our faith. But what exactly does it mean for us? What sort of story does it invite us into? And how can we experience the power of the resurrection in our daily lives?

Easter: Grace That Changes Everything

The bustling streets of Jerusalem, palm branches waving as a man rides upon a donkey. A final, intimate meal with friends. The heartbreaking betrayal and the gravity of a trial. Stand in silent awe at the foot of the cross, and finally, rejoice in the triumph of the empty tomb. 

Follow along as we medidate on Jesus' sacrifice and the profound hope of His resurrection.

Whoever you are, there is a purpose at work in your life. That purpose is ultimately connected to the single most significant event in the history of the world—the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Whether you believe it or not, the resurrection was the most significant event in the history of the world. The resurrection happened, and you can be forever changed because of it.

He Is Risen!

The Resurrection of Jesus is one of the most amazing days! Easter is God showing us His undeniable love. And the 40 days before Easter—the season of Lent—is a time to refocus our attention on Christ and deepen our relationship with Him. As you take the time to study the Bible during this season, this plan will challenge you to experience Easter in a more meaningful way.

Preparing to Celebrate Christ at Easter

The Breath of Lent is a 40-day Lenten journey with a daily devotional thought and the practice of breath prayer through Scripture.

The Breath of Lent

Holy Week is the days leading up to the celebration of Easter. Our hope for this daily prayer during Holy Week is to take intentional time to reflect on all that Jesus has done for us, to help us grow in the discipline and rhythm of prayer, and to grow in understanding of why it matters and what it means to pray.

Holy Week - a Guide to Prayer

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.
