Big Idea of the Series

This sermon series on Holy Week is designed to be used over the course of five weeks, or may be used individually through the last week of Lent. This sermon series provides five message outlines, teaching on the final week of Jesus’ life that ultimately led to his empty tomb.

In addition to the series guide, the bundle includes themed graphics for:

  • The Triumphal Entry
  • Maundy Thursday
  • Good Friday
  • Holy Saturday
  • Easter Sunday

About the Holy Week Sermon Series

Jesus redefined Israel’s expectations of what the Messiah would look like. Rather than being a military hero, he died on a cross.

This world and our own hearts are filled with darkness and death, but we can have hope if we place our faith in the Light of the World, Jesus, who defeated death by entering into it. The resurrection of Jesus Christ enhances our faith and helps us to trust in Jesus more deeply.

This sermon series on Holy Week includes five specific messages on Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday, reminding us that Jesus is who he claimed to be and giving us hope that is essential to living the Christian life.

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 5 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
