Good Morning Easter Devotional Day 7 – Restoration of hope eternal
Hello everyone! Good afternoon! It’s Easter! He is risen! We have something big to celebrate today, and I’m ecstatic we get to celebrate it together, even though we might be many miles apart right now. Let’s talk about resurrection Sunday! So when Mary and the other women arrived at the tomb, followed by Peter, Jesus’ body was gone. Mary thought that someone had removed the body without telling Jesus’ friends or family.

To add that his body had…

Now, if we…

Good Morning Easter Devotional Day 4 – Restored into connection
Good morning! Welcome to day 4! If this is your first time joining us, don’t worry, you can still catch up! For those of you who have followed along, welcome back! I hope you’re enjoying this study like I am! So diving right in! On this day in holy week, Thursday commemorates the Last Supper – a moment to sit, connect and break bread together. As we reflect on the uncommon group of disciples who gathered with Jesus in his final days, we are reminded of his extravagant love: that he died so that we could live. The devo then mentions hospitality. The Greek word for hospitality is philoxenos which…
