Lent & Easter

Jesus Christ rose from the dead bodily. The Old Testament predicted He would. Jesus himself repeatedly said he would die and resurrect. The apostles and all of Scripture proclaim it to be true. The apostles and His followers over the centuries have died, steadfastly believing this. You don't die for something you're not sure about. 15 key references with “Man Says” But “God Says” preceding each Bible verse.

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.

The Week That Changed The World

Does God exist? Two thousand years ago, an eyewitness named John saw the miracles, the crucifixion, and the resurrection of a man he concluded was the Son of God. John recorded what he saw as evidence, so future generations could reach the same conclusion. So, what if Jesus really is the Son of God? Take time during Lent to read John's account and ask yourself, "What if it's true?"
