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.

Dwell | Holy Week and Easter

The Cross of Christ is a ten-day journey into the heart of the gospel - where love, sacrifice, and transformation meet. Explore why the cross was necessary, what it accomplished, and how it shapes a life of forgiveness, holiness, and hope. 
Discover the meaning of atonement, the beauty of grace, and the invitation to live under and after the cross - carrying your own with humility and joy. Each devotion draws from the teachings of Jesus and the work of redemption, helping you encounter the cross not just as history, but as the daily centre of faith and formation.

The Cross of Christ

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.

Lent | Week 2: Trusting God for What You Need

This Easter, we are looking at everything Jesus said on the cross leading up to His last words. What do they tell us about who He is and what He did for us?

Messiah's Last Words

Fasting may be the least-discussed spiritual discipline in the church. But Jesus not only spoke about fasting, he also fasted, as did many of the heroes of the faith. So, what is fasting? Should Christians still fast today? Should you fast? What are the benefits of fasting? Are we really supposed to keep our fast private? And how are you supposed to fast?

What Is Fasting? Will It Draw Me Closer to God?

Every year, believers come together for a weeklong celebration of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. From Palm Sunday to Resurrection Sunday, let us reflect on how God demonstrated His love for humanity by sending His Son to die on the cross and bring us to a place of grace and love, enabling us to live a life marked by Christ’s triumph.

Place of Grace | a Holy Week Devotional From Palm Sunday to Resurrection Sunday

He is risen! He is risen indeed! We celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In Matthew 28:5-7, we find the angel’s message to the women who came to Jesus’ tomb. Over seven days, we will  reflect on how they speak to us today, and draw us closer to our resurrected Savior.

Jesus Is Risen
