Jesus’s Path to the Cross
9 Days
Travel with Jesus through Scripture on his path to the cross, learning more about the people and places he encountered along the way, remembering that the Bible isn't just a story, it's real history. In this devotional, explore content from the ESV Archaeology Study Bible alongside passages detailing Jesus's final week on earth before his death and resurrection.
Forgiveness
7 Days
In Scripture, we are called to forgive others in response to the forgiveness that God has extended to us. And yet, at times, forgiving someone who has wronged us can seem nearly impossible. This reading plan was designed to help you refocus on the forgiveness offered to God's people in the gospel, empowering you to extend that same forgiveness to others.
Resurrection Life in a World of Suffering
6 Days
Whether or not we face physical persecution for our faith, it is likely that we’ve all experienced some form of suffering throughout our lives as Christians. How do we persevere and hope in the resurrection when in the midst of difficult circumstances? Over six days, find biblical encouragement in Paul’s letter to early Christians in Asia Minor, and remember all Christ has done and promises to do in the lives of those who trust him.
The Triumph of Easter
6 Days
There is no story more worthy of being retold in our families than the true account of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Over the course of six days, read passages of Scripture and answer questions as a family as you reflect on devotional readings adapted from The Big Picture Family Devotional and remember afresh what Christ accomplished for sinners at Easter.
