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

Lent is a time of preparation, 40 Days (excluding Sundays), as we look forward to Easter. In a world filled with turmoil, may we take this period to reflect, to encourage, to build others up in the faith, and to grow in our walk with the Lord.  Over the next 6-weeks, let us journey together as we rejoice in our Lord!

A Journey Toward Calvary

Experience 7 of Jesus' 40 parables using the ancient practices of lectio and visio divina – praying in word and image – with beautiful pencil drawings for each parable. This plan is taken from Praying the Parables of Jesus: A 40-Day Devotional Journey in Word and Image.

Praying the Parables of Jesus

Over the course of Holy Week, we’ll examine eight commands and teachings of Jesus with an eye to understand both why he thought these principles were so important and how the Lord can use them to help us become the people he has created and called us to be. These readings are part of a larger Lenten guide, available on our website, that starts on Ash Wednesday and concludes with Easter Sunday.

Walking in Christ’s Commands: A Holy Week Journey With Jesus

Lent is a time to pause, reflect, and return to the heart of God. This 3-day devotional invites you to walk with intention, allowing God to examine your inner life, strengthen you in the wilderness, and lead you into a renewed life in Christ. Through biblical reflections and practical questions, prepare your heart for Easter with humility, obedience, and hope.

Lent

You do not have to be Catholic, formal, or highly spiritual to benefit from Lent. "Lent for Everyone" is a practical, Scripture-filled journey toward the empty tomb. This plan will help you prepare your heart, not only for Easter morning, but to make the resurrection life your every-day-all-year-long practice. We will look at the whole life of Jesus, not only the last few weeks of His earthly life. Whether this is your first Lent or your 50th, this plan invites you to engage Lent as a meaningful journey, not a religious obligation.

Lent for Everyone (Especially if You Haven't Celebrated Lent Before)

This plan will help you draw closer to God and deepen your understanding of His sacrificial love through daily scripture reading, prayer and journaling during this Lent season. You’ll read various passages around the themes of repentance, prayer and fasting, serving and giving, Jesus’s suffering, death, and resurrection. You’ll also have the opportunity to develop the life-giving, life-long habits of seeking God daily through His Word, prayer, and journaling.

For the next 40 days, we will walk with Jesus. We will learn how much God loves us — so much that He even sent His Son, Jesus, for us. Psalm 121 says that God watches over us all the time, day and night. He doesn’t get tired, and He never forgets about you.
