Holidays & Seasons

The Christian calendar — Advent, Christmas, Lent, Holy Week, Easter, Pentecost.

Advent

The four weeks of waiting before Christmas — hope, peace, joy, and love. What Advent means, where it came from, and why waiting is a spiritual discipline.

Study

Christmas

Luke 2:1-20; Matthew 1:18-2:12; John 1:1-14

The feast of the Incarnation — God become flesh. What Christmas actually celebrates, the Scriptures behind it, and how to keep Christ at its centre.

Study

Easter (Resurrection Sunday)

Matthew 28; Mark 16; Luke 24; John 20-21; 1 Corinthians 15

The empty tomb — the event Christianity stands or falls on. The evidence the Gospels record, what the resurrection means, and why Sunday is the Christian day.

Study

Good Friday

Matthew 27; Mark 15; Luke 23; John 18-19; Isaiah 53

The day the King was crucified — why the worst Friday is called good, the seven last words, and the meaning of the darkness and the torn veil.

Study

Pentecost

Acts 2; Joel 2:28-32; John 14-16

Fifty days after Easter — wind, fire, and the Spirit poured out. The church's birthday, Babel's reversal, and the power of the Kingdom for witness.
