PASSION WEEK - FBC FAMILY WORSHIP CHALLENGE

The Gospel Project has made helpful resources available - free of charge - for families and individuals to use at home during the Passion Week. Highlighting the week’s events, including the triumphal entry, the Last Supper, the crucifixion, and the resurrection, these videos and selected scriptures would do much to focus your hearts on the significance of the entire week. Would you consider taking 5 times during this week leading up to Easter to spend time considering what Christ accomplished? Each day, read some Scripture, watch the brief videos and take some time to discuss or meditate, pray, and sing about these marvelous and meaningful events.  If you wish to avail yourself of the activity resources, including lessons material, you can find them here.

Complete the FBC Passion Week Challenge. Take 20 minutes per day for 5 days this week to complete each of these lessons focused on events in the life of our Lord. May this be a means of God’s Word dwelling in you richly as we anticipate Resurrection Sunday.
