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 Miracle of Easter | Easter Devotional

The story of Easter really is the story of a miracle. A miracle preceded by many others that all ultimately point us to one thing: the truth of who God is, how God loves us, and the way God is working on our behalf. In this devotional, we’ll look at three major miracles recorded in the gospel of John. As we do, we’ll see that these miracles were all pointing us toward something greater. We’ll see the reveal of the greatest miracle of all: the resurrection of Jesus.

Reveal

The final day of Jesus’ earthly life was not a tragedy. It was the culmination of love, obedience, and redemption. This plan invites you to walk slowly through the last hours of Christ’s life, from the upper room to the cross, and into the silence of the tomb.
Through Scripture and reflection, you’ll see the depth of His surrender, the cost of grace, and the power of a love that chose the cross. As you behold Jesus in His suffering, you’ll discover hope, forgiveness, and new life. Pause, reflect, and encounter the Savior who gave everything for you.

Stations of the Cross

As Savior, Jesus walked among our mess and pain. He is also King of all—holy, mighty, and just. 

For the next seven days, we will be reading through portions of the Gospels, reflecting on what we can learn about following Jesus as we study and honor His death and resurrection.
