Lent & Easter

Holy Week is such an important time of reflection in the Christian life. We pray these devotionals will lead you with joy and anticipation for the risen Christ. As you celebrate today, and every day, remember to be expectant. Remember to serve. Remember the blood. Remember the deafening silence. Remember to be surprised. For in Christ, you have life and you have it abundantly.

Easter - 5 Day Devotional

No matter where you are in your faith journey, the Easter story has the power to change your story. In this seven-day Plan we’ll walk with Jesus through the events leading up to His death on the cross and His resurrection. Along the way, we’ll explore how His words and actions invite us to know Him, follow Him, and experience His love in a personal way.

The Easter Story

In the second week of Lent, we’ll see how God met the needs of his people in the Bible - whether through manna in the wilderness, provision in scarcity, or strength in weakness. As we reflect on these stories, we’ll be challenged to trust that he is faithful to provide everything we truly need as we focus our attention back on him.

📖 This is part 2 of a 6-part Bible Reading Plan series! Part 1 is "Lent Week 1: Turning Back to God"

Lent | Week 2: Trusting God for What You Need

Can God truly forgive someone like me? This is a question we may have asked or wondered. In this devotional, we will journey through the Bible and explore countless examples of God's forgiveness of those many had written off. This plan will show you God's ability to forgive and love us beyond our sins. It will also show the beauty of love and redemption found in God's forgiveness. 

He Forgives..

The WORD on the cross... The WORD in the grave... The WORD resurrected... Day 1 examines Jesus' final words on the cross. Day 2 contemplates the silence of Saturday—the "between" day when Jesus lay in the tomb. Day 3 celebrates how Jesus, as the Word, offers the final, triumphant word over sin and death.

Jesus Is the Final Word


The Road to Easter began before the foundations of the world. God’s eternal plan to send a Rescuer—One who would suffer and die so that we could have life—unfolds through a Promise, a Passover, and a Passion. As you journey through The Road to Easter: God’s Eternal Plan, marvel at His love for you in a story written before time began.


The Road to Easter: God's Eternal Plan

Easter is a wonderful time to reflect on what happens when one person says “yes” to what God calls them to do or believe in the moment. The Easter narrative is full of examples of those who said “yes” who we can look to. When we say “yes”, we get to witness amazing things.

When One Person Says “Yes” to God

The book of John records seven "I am" statements from Jesus, leading up to his death and resurrection. These statements show us Jesus' true nature and invite us to a deeper belief in him. As you prepare to celebrate Easter, take time to meditate on Jesus and his place in your life. This seven-day series was written by Rev. Jon Opgenorth and presented by Words of Hope.

I Am: Jesus and Easter in the Book of John

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.
