Lent & Easter

Much of the New Testament was written so that we might know Jesus Christ, the salvation He secured through His death on the cross, and the promise of His resurrection. Join Dr. Charles Stanley as he reflects on the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, the gift of eternal life secured on your behalf, and the depth of the Father’s great love.

A Word From Below Holy Week Devotional

Over the next two weeks, we'll follow the Easter story as we remember there is always a glimmer of hope, even in the deepest darkness. We'll talk about how Jesus is with us in the darkness and explore what it means that Jesus is the light in the darkness.

Although the word "grace" is familiar to many of us, the feeling of living in daily grace may be more foreign. If you are grinding away each day to feel wanted and worthy, or struggling with feelings that you don't measure up, read this plan and discover the way that Jesus wants you to experience daily life. Let's learn to embrace and dwell in Jesus' grace this Easter! 

By His Grace: Giving Up the Grind and Embracing God's Grace This Easter

Lent is a time when we prepare our hearts for Easter, often by reflecting on our sin and the sacrifice Jesus made for our sin. While it can be hard to reflect on our sin, doing so causes us to be even more grateful for the grace of Christ. In this five-day plan, we will consider the seriousness of our sin while also fixing our eyes on the gospel...

With this 3 day plan we will look at what the cross meant  then and what it means today! 

The Wondrous Cross

The message of the cross challenges both believers and non-believers, demanding a response. People react in three ways: Rejection, Remorse, or Repentance. 
Reject – Some dismiss or partially accept Jesus’ sacrifice.
Remorse – Others feel guilty but remain unchanged.
Repentance – True repentance moves beyond guilt to turning from sin, seeking God’s forgiveness, and allowing His grace to transform our lives.

How Do You Respond to the Cross? Rejection, Remorse, or Repentance

Nothing matters more than meeting Jesus. And no one covers the words and works (and death and resurrection) of Jesus quite like the gospel of Mark. The shortest and fastest moving of the four gospels (50% shorter than the gospel of Matthew and the gospel of Luke), Mark will introduce you to your Lord and Savior in a fresh and powerful way. Ready to know Jesus better than ever before? If so, you are ready for "Jesus Reels."

Jesus Reels

Easter can feel like another day on the calendar instead of a defining moment that impacts how we see every other day of our lives. Starting with Palm Sunday, this plan walks you through each day of Holy Week and draws out themes that remind us that with Jesus we don't experience new life just once a year, but every single day.
