Calvary to Pentecost covers the two weekends that brought profound change to the world - Calvary and Pentecost. The first was marked by Jesus’ death and resurrection, the next by the Holy Spirit’s presence and anointing.

The climax and transitions represented by the events of these weekends—and the 50 days between—transformed the biblical narrative, reframed God’s involvement with us, gave birth to the church and released fresh opportunities for us to experience Him.

Calvary to Pentecost explores the intrigue, tragedy and excitement of the first Easter, the evidence for Jesus’ resurrection, and the meaning of Pentecost, when the apostle Peter explained where Jesus had gone and what He was doing.

You might use these 50 readings as:

• Easter devotional readings -  personal devotional reflections, perhaps starting at Easter time and reading one each day onwards

• inspiring material for small group discussion—either reading the reflections together, or agreeing to read beforehand, then meeting in a café or home to reflect on your responses
