Lent & Easter

Is there more? More to our lives than a ticking clock. More than the breath in our lungs, the work of our hands, the thousand words we speak each day? In this devotional, we discover that in a world of more, Jesus is enough. And because He is enough, I am enough. 

Finding Enough in a World of More 

On the Ask NT Wright Anything podcast, Justin Brierley sits down regularly with renowned New Testament theologian NT (Tom) Wright to draw on his wisdom and knowledge as he responds to a wide range of listener questions. This reading plan distils Tom’s answers into short responses and looks at Jesus’ crucifixion, resurrection and ascension, what happens when we die and the return of Christ. 

Jesus’ Death, Resurrection & Return

During Holy Week we follow Jesus in the last days before His crucifixion. With symbols in His daily interactions, conversations, and deeds we identify with His suffering. This journey invites you to watch a devotional in the morning and do a guided reflection prayer in the evening.

The Seven Last Words of Christ refers to the seven short phrases uttered by Jesus on the cross, as gathered from the four Christian gospels.  This devotional project connects word, image, voice and song into daily meditations on these words.

The Lenten journey is a counterintuitive journey to life by way of the cross. Each year at this time we are invited to turn and face those things from which we would rather run and hide. We walk to the cross where we experience the great unveiling and see things as they really are. We see God for who God is, and we discover ourselves for who we are. 

The Human Becoming: A Lenten Devotional

For thousands of years, Christians worldwide have spent time preparing their hearts to celebrate Easter, eventually naming this season “Lent.” During the 40 days before the holiday, they would fast, pray, and spend extra time in the Scripture. We have developed this devotional as a tool to help you dig into the Bible this Lenten season and learn more about who Jesus is.
