Our 2024 Lent Series reflected on the ‘Surprising Hope’ we find in Jesus. Explore this series now.
Every year, millions of Christians around the world prepare themselves for Easter by recognising the season of Lent, a time to walk with God in anticipation, reflection and humility.
In 2024, we invited Christian teachers from across the country to help us explore the deep and abounding hope we have in Jesus - a life-giving hope that surprises, lifts our eyes and brings rejoicing (Rom 5:2) and sure confidence (Hebrews 11:1).
Through seven weekly video messages reflecting on key bible verses, this series explored how in the moment of Jesus’ death and resurrection we see hope and a future burst forth through the depths of grief and darkness of sin.
We are thankful for the contribution of these thought provoking reflections from Ben Chong, Jarrod McKenna, Belinda Groves, Safina Stewart, Jason Forbes and Naomi Wolfe.
