Welcome to a special devotional time!

Jesus’ final week was one that will never be forgotten. It began filled with joy
and excitement and seemed to end with death and despair—that is, until
Resurrection Sunday. Through this series of readings in the gospels, the
attached video devotion, and the response points given, you are encouraged
to take time each day to reflect upon all that Jesus faced during his final
week and rejoice in all that he accomplished through his life, death, and
resurrection.
