In the Savior's Steps - WELS Women’s Ministry is offering weekly devotions for the 2025 season of Lent. We’re used to traveling with Jesus during Holy Week from the upper room to the cross to the empty tomb. But these aren’t the only places Jesus visited during his earthly ministry. This Lent, join WELS Women’s Ministry as we follow in our Savior’s steps through a series of weekly devotions. Subscribe here.

MLC Our Gift to You: Holy Week Devotions - The Foolishness of the Cross
The Foolishness of the Cross is the newest devotion book we’ve created for you. It contains a devotion for each day of Holy Week, April 13-20, written by MLC faculty. The cross of Christ is the setting for the greatest reversal in history—an altar of humiliation transformed into the ultimate stage and revelation of the King of kings. To the world, it seems absurd that God would save through weakness, suffering, and death. Yet believers come face to face with God in all his power, providential might, and glory nowhere as clearly as at the cross. These devotions will help us see how the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength

WELS National Online Teen Bible Study is an online opportunity for teens across the country to digitally connect with each other around the Word.
