Isaiah 49:4

This plan is intended as a guide to discovering the message of Ephesians for yourself!

Walk the final days of Jesus from Palm Sunday to Holy Saturday — rooted in historic liturgy, grounded in Scripture, and praying for the unreached. From the cry of “Hosanna” to the silence of the tomb, this study invites you to slow down and dwell deeply in Christ’s humility, suffering, and victory. As you follow Jesus toward the cross and the grave, you also pray for future churches among the nations — asking that every tribe and tongue would know the salvation He has accomplished. Ancient faith. Global prayer. Here is salvation.

These devotions come from the lifetime works of bestselling author Brennan Manning, as found in the NIV Ragamuffin Bible. These raw, painfully honest, yet grace-filled readings will help you bask in the knowledge that God not only loves you, he delights in you.
