Resurrection Morning: 7 Days with the Risen Christ

7 min read

Walk with me through Holy Week as we encounter Jesus alive each day.

This isn't just a historical recounting. It's an invitation to meet the risen Christ in the ordinary moments of your week. Each day we'll pause at a different encounter with Jesus, from his triumphal entry to his victorious resurrection, and discover what it means for our lives today.

Come with an open heart. Bring your questions, your doubts, your hope. Let's walk this journey together.

Day 1 Hosanna! The King Who Comes Riding on a Donkey

Crowds shouted "Hosanna!" as Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey, fulfilling the prophecy of Zechariah.

Day 2 Cleansing the Temple: Zeal for Your Father's House
