Lent & Easter

Everyone loves a good transformation - be it a home renovation, makeover, or a comeback story.  As followers of Jesus, our goal should be lasting transformation through which we look more like Jesus and less like the world. This seven-day reading plan, based on the in-depth small group study, “(Be) Transformed: Living Boldly As God Intended,” gleans wisdom from Romans 12 as a blueprint for living a transformed life.

(Be) Transformed

Pursue The Passion is a seven-day digital study based on the life of Christ and His Crucifixion. Through film, scripture and discussion questions, it is designed to inspire reflection on our life purpose and how to use our talents to further the Kingdom of God. When we focus on Jesus’ plan for our lives and follow His will, then our purpose becomes more clear. Jesus is the ultimate example of this, and we will see this demonstrated in the film, "The Passion of the Christ" on Digital HD, Blu-ray™ and DVD.

On His arrest, torture and crucifixion, He fulfilled biblical prophecy and made atonement for our sins. Three days later He rose from the dead in a majestic display of love and power. Join Dr. LaDonna C. Osborn in this journey through the last days of Jesus on Earth.

Come Alive: Easter in Everyday Life

Fasting is, at its core, an invitation to intimacy with God. It’s an emp¬tying of all, so we can be filled by His all. Yet many of us aren’t sure how to start making this transformative practice a part of our lives. As Reward Sibanda explores, we never finish a fast the same person we were when we began, because through fasting we become more of who God created us to be. 

How to Fast

Darkness. Are you afraid of the dark? Darkness is all around us, yet God calls us to His Light. Experience the darkest day in history when Jesus Christ was crucified and God’s glorious light when He rose from the dead. Shine His light with the truth of the gospel.
