The eight days of Holy Week mark the culmination of everything Jesus came to earth to accomplish. Let's follow the timeline of his last days in Jerusalem, leading up to the cross and beyond that to the empty tomb.

Every year on Good Friday, Christians take time to meditate on the depth of Jesus’ sacrifice for us in suffering a humiliating, bloody death by crucifixion. It’s a time to dwell on what Jesus suffered for us, in all its pain and intensity, without rushing straight ahead to the good news of Easter, resurrection, and new life.
Many marriages feel worn down, but Easter reminds us that God specializes in renewal. If your relationship feels stuck or tired, Scripture offers a clear path forward rooted in hope and obedience.
This Easter, let’s meditate upon six people throughout history God used to point toward Christ. And then let’s marvel at Christ’s unwavering faithfulness, grace, and mercy.
Many churches celebrate Palm Sunday, which is always the Sunday before Easter. Maybe your church has children waving palm branches to help them connect to the story. But while this is a triumphal entry, it is Jesus’ first step toward His death.
Use these simple yet powerful Palm Sunday prayers to celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem and the passion He willingly endured for our salvation!
Each day of Holy Week is an opportunity to celebrate together as a family. This year, consider following a simple pattern: reading the Scriptures, discussing the passages, engaging in a memorable activity, and praying together. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Jesus all week long.
As humans, we don’t have the power to change people’s hearts, to stir them to action, or to accept the call of the gospel. But, we can co-labor with God, allowing the Holy Spirit to work through us as we invite, encourage, and share with people. If you have found yourself wrongfully assuming or projecting past experiences about those who only attend service on Easter, might I encourage you to pray these prayers?
The resurrection is the "final reveal" of God's design and renovation.
