Meditations on Lent
Prayer is the strength of every Christian. In the face of so many situations that hurt us and could harden our hearts, we are called to dive into the sea of prayer, which is the sea of God’s boundless love, to taste His tenderness. Lent is a time of prayer; of more intense prayer, more prolonged prayer, more intentional prayer. This devotional guide will lead you through 7 meditations on your journey of Lent; each with a Bible reading, a few contemplative questions, and excerpts of prayers and thoughts from Christians, pastors, and theologians of the past. We hope their words will offer fresh perspective and inspiration for your prayers.

7 Words from the Cross
Welcome to this devotional on Jesus’ Seven Words from the Cross - seven powerful phrases spoken in His final moments that continue to speak life to us today. As we reflect on each word through Scripture, we’ll discover not just the depth of Christ’s suffering, but the beauty of His victory—victory over injustice, judgment, needs of self, sin, completing His mission, and trust in the Father. Come with a quiet heart and an open spirit, and let these words draw you closer to Jesus Christ.
Pray according to His will
Welcome to Pray According to His Will, a 7-day journey of drawing near to God with confidence and trust. Each day, we’ll gently widen the circle of our prayers—from our own hearts to our families, our church, our communities, our country, and even the whole earth—learning to align our desires with His good and perfect will. This is not about saying the “right” words, but about growing in relationship with a Father who hears, cares, and acts. Come with an open heart, and let’s discover together the peace and purpose found in praying as Jesus taught us: “Your will be done.”
Names of Jesus
Welcome to this Advent devotional, The Names of Jesus, where we slow down and behold the beauty of who Christ is. Each day, we’ll explore a different name—Word of God, King of kings, Lion of Judah, Son of Man, and Light of the World—discovering through Scripture how each reveals His character, His mission, and His love for us. As we prepare our hearts for His coming, this devotional also invites you into a simple at-home worship evening, creating space to rest, reflect, and rejoice together. Come expectant, and let these names draw you deeper into the wonder of Jesus.
The Light Of Advent
Advent is a holy season of anticipation looking forward to the celebration of Jesus’ birth, and a time of expectant waiting and preparation for His second coming. It is also a journey from darkness to light: The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelled in a land of darkness, upon them a light has shined (Isaiah 9:2). Our Light, and the Light of this world, is Jesus Christ. Join us for five Advent devotionals – The Light of Advent – during the month of December. As we journey through this month, and through this holy season of Advent, it is our prayer that these devotionals will lead you closer to Christ, and also help strengthen our collective longing for His return. Each video contains a devotional prompt and closing carol sing-a-long fitting to that week's theme.
According to the Scriptures
In the liturgical church calendar, Lent is a season of preparation, observed for forty days before Easter - a period that alludes to the forty days Jesus spent in the wilderness. This season inspires a time of reflection, purification, and repentance in preparation for the celebration of Christ’s suffering and death on Good Friday, and resurrection on Easter. To help enhance our observance of Lent and preparation for the glorious celebration of Easter, this devotional package has been created to provide one devotional guide per week. It includes a guide for the 6 weeks leading up to Holy Week, and one guide for the week immediately following Easter.
