easter 2013 devos

As we approach Good Friday and Easter, where we remember the death, life, and resurrection of Christ – use these devotions to spend a few moments each day preparing yourself to celebrate the resurrection of Christ in a fresh, new way this season.  Download a copy here and allow God’s Word to speak to you.  Compliments of youthministry360.

Also, check out some of these featured Bible reading plans from YouVersion.com.  Download the free Bible app to your phone and start reading!  Just another way for you to get into God’s Word on a daily basis and prepare your heart for Easter.

  • Seven Mile Miracle Easter Devotion Pastor Steven Furtick from Elevation Church digs into seven of Jesus’ final sayings on the cross, with daily Scripture readings and practical application.   (7 days)
  • Love to the Uttermost: Holy Week Spanning Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, this individual, family, or group devotional uses nine select readings from John Piper to help direct our gaze toward our Savior. (9 days)
  • The Story of Easter  How would you spend the last week of your life knowing that it was your last? The last week Jesus was on earth in human form was filled with memorable moments, fulfilled prophecies, intimate prayer, deep discussion, symbolic acts, and world-changing events. Designed to start the Monday before Easter, each day of this reading plan walks you through the chapters from the four Gospels that tell the story of this Holy week. (7 days)
