Lent & Easter

The events from Palm Sunday to Easter are sometimes referred to as Holy Week, and they make up the most important days in history. Join Passion for this 8-day reading plan as we chronologically journey with Jesus from his triumphant entrance into Jerusalem, the quietness of the Last Supper, the excruciating devastation of Good Friday, and the redemptive resurrection on Easter Sunday.

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.

The Seven Sayings of Jesus From the Cross

It is amazing to consider how God worked out the details in the story of sending His Son to redeem His people in so many beautiful ways. Let’s look at a few of the details surrounding the resurrection of Jesus, how His triumph over the grave fulfilled prophecies in the Lord’s plan, and the transformative hope it provided for all who would surrender our lives to Him.

Transformed by the Messiah

As we move through Lent, we reflect on some of Jesus' most intense moments: his betrayal, arrest, and ultimate sacrifice. These moments remind us that following God’s will isn’t always easy, but it’s worth it. This week, let’s reflect on what it means to choose God’s path, even when it’s hard, and to extend love and grace to others in the face of challenges. 

Lent | Week 4: Jesus' Journey to the Cross

Easter is an important holiday in the life of a Christian, but every year, it seems like we hear the same story. In this devotional, Rick Renner discusses what really happened from Gethsemane to the empty tomb. Jesus made a harrowing, horrific sacrifice for us, but most importantly, He rose again to pay for our sins.

The Real Purpose of Easter

We hear about the resurrection of Jesus every year at Easter, but have you ever considered what it was like to have experienced it firsthand, face-to-face, as his friends did? Learn from Mary Magdalene, Thomas, and Peter as we look at the hope Jesus brought them after that first Easter and the hope he still offers you today.
