Hello InterVarsity Friends, ❄️☃️❄️ Hope you're staying warm on this snowy Palm🌿Sunday! Today we're kicking off Holy Week, which is a perfect time to explore and remember the true meaning of Easter. Some ideas to get you started ...
If you don't have a church home, find a church to attend with a friend. Set aside some time to read through the Book of Luke or watch the The Jesus Film and prayerfully consider Jesus' invitation to you. Or join us this Wednesday for our Weekly Gathering, we'll spend some time discussing the Easter story. Come hang out with friends, enjoy a 🍕FREE LUNCH🍕 and dive into a conversation centered on Ephesians, which is packed with wisdom about how to live a joy-filled, purposeful life. We'll provide all the materials (or you can preview them here), all we need is you! If you'd like ... invite a friend, everyone's welcome! Joyfully, Jill Balkema InterVarsity Campus Minister If you or a friend are interested in receiving this weekly update by text each week, register here. THIS WEEK

The Jesus Film
Easter is just around the corner. Have you ever taken the time to explore the true meaning of Easter? The Jesus Film is a perfect introduction to Jesus through the Gospel of Luke. Jesus constantly surprises and confounds people, from His miraculous birth to His rise from the grave. Follow His life through excerpts from the Book of Luke, all the miracles, the teachings, and the passion.
God creates everything and loves mankind. But mankind disobeys God. God and mankind are separated, but God loves mankind so much, He arranges redemption for mankind. He sends his Son Jesus to be a perfect sacrifice to make amends for us.
Before Jesus arrives, God prepares mankind. Prophets speak of the birth, the life, and the death of Jesus.
Jesus attracts attention. He teaches in parables no one really understands, gives sight to the blind, and helps those who no one sees as worth helping.
He scares the Jewish leaders, they see him as a threat. So they arrange, through Judas the traitor and their Roman oppressors, for the crucifixion of Jesus. They think the matter is settled. But the women who serve Jesus discover an empty tomb. The disciples panic. When Jesus appears, they doubt He's real. But it's what He proclaimed all along: He is their perfect sacrifice, their Savior, victor over death. He ascends to heaven, telling His followers to tell others about Him and His teachings.
Take some time to explore and reflect on the meaning of Easter for yourself this season!
