This is a series of short Holy Week reflections beginning with the events on Maundy Thursday, and ending with Resurrection Sunday. They are also glimpses inside the act of Creation itself. When we enter Holy Week we have a front-row seat to God’s creative process. In the end, we discover ourselves as co-creators in Christ, participating in the ongoing act of Creation.

Not everything that sounds Biblical actually is. Like the Bereans of old, we must test the wisdom of the age against the Truth of God’s Word. (Acts 17:11) This five-day study will examine some popular sayings and expressions which are often attributed to the Lord, but are in fact found nowhere in Scripture – as well as teach you what God really has to say on such matters.

It is easy to blame Adam and Eve for the misery of humanity and death of Lord Jesus Christ. The people who were living in Lord Jesus' earthly ministry time manifested their sinful nature. The traces of that sinful nature is found in each one of us. We are responsible for Lord Jesus' death.

What artifacts do we have that support the amazing events of Easter? This 5 day devotional walks you through five significant artifacts and the role they play to show us the reliability of the events of Easter week.

Betrayal is devastating. It produces a feeling of worthlessness for trusting an untrustworthy person. We respond to betrayal in anger. We seek to get even or make our betrayers suffer for how they've wronged us. In this plan we'll look at what the Bible teaches on how we should respond to betrayals with the prayer to be victorious over your own abandonment or violation of trust and eventually move on.

We all have doubts that challenge our faith. We wonder whether the Bible still matters, or whether God is truly as loving and personal as we hope. In The Logic of God, apologist Ravi Zacharias explains how and why Christianity, the Bible, and God are still relevant, vital, and life-changing for us today.

Embark on a journey to learn more about the life of Jesus. Together we will watch short clips from the film, The Life of Jesus, and reflect on what we see. Discover who Jesus really was and what He can mean to you. You can read each of the 10 plans separately, but we challenge you to complete the whole journey.

Lent is a time of solemn reflection and remembering how desperately we need Jesus. As we consider His love, Asheritah Ciuciu walks us through 5 days of slowing down and resting in the never-ending, ever-present, steady love of Jesus.

Gallup poll researchers recently asked Americans, “Do you believe in God?” and 87% of the people in our country said yes. But, after settling that big question, the devil is in the details. To be fair, we all have our issues when it comes to faith. We would love for you to join us as we explore some of the most common doubts about Christianity.

Christians are different. They can’t help it. When you’re in Christ and filled with the Spirit, it changes you. This leads to weird ideas and alternate beliefs about reality. This series of 5-day plans uses classic Christian Creeds as a vehicle to explain the Christian worldview compared to the world’s and help us see reality through Jesus’s eyes.

The Lent Project is an initiative of Biola University's Center for Christianity, Culture and the Arts. Each daily devotion includes a portion of Scripture, a devotional, a prayer, a work of visual art or a video, a piece of music, and a poem plus brief commentaries on the artworks and artists. 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 crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus are described in each of the four gospels. This Easter read about how Jesus endured betrayal, suffering, and humiliation on the cross before changing the world through the hope offered by his resurrection. A short video illustrates part of the story for each day of this plan.

It’s easy to see a story through our own lens and miss the bigger picture. That’s exactly what happened in the days leading up to Jesus’s death. His followers, his critics, and the crowds all had their own interpretations of the events unfolding before them—but Jesus knew something they didn’t. In Misunderstandings of Easter, a five-day reading plan, we’ll uncover what they missed and how understanding it can change the way we see Easter today.

A.D. The Bible Continues is the epic 12-episode series now airing on NBC. After Jesus’ crucifixion, Peter wrestles with his guilt, even as Judas is overcome by his. Jesus’ followers who watched Him die decide to wait to see what will happen next. Joseph of Arimathea offers his tomb, and the Priest Caiaphas convinces Rome to guard it — but they’re no match for the inevitable.

At one point in our lives, we've all experienced the feeling of being abandoned, left out or betrayed. When people close to us are the ones that inflict these feelings, it’s even harder to overcome. In Plan 17 we see Jesus betrayed by those closest to Him. The different ways in which Jesus and those who betrayed Him responded gives us insight into different ways in which we may respond.

How do we live a victorious Christian life in this sinful world? In the third devotional plan from the Confident series, we learn how Christians can know important things with certainty to thrive in the uncertainty of life as well as the five truths that will help us run our Christian race with confidence and victory.

Through Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, we have been redeemed back into union and communion with God. We are now new creations and citizens of Heaven. We have a new identity and a new reality. We will break down our identity, reality, and faith and love - the two key elements of our new life in Christ.

Darkness. Are you afraid of the dark? Darkness is all around us, yet God calls us to His Light. Experience the darkest day in history when Jesus Christ was crucified and God’s glorious light when He rose from the dead. Shine His light with the truth of the gospel.

This week, you’re going to discover how to live a powerful life despite difficult circumstances. A negative comment, a wrong decision, disappointment, depression, anxiety, illness, relationship problems...despite everything and because of everything, we can learn to live with God powerfully!
