The Last Week of Jesus: A Day-by-Day Look at the Last Week of Jesus

The Last Week of Jesus

A Day-by-Day Walk with the Most Important Person Who Ever Lived

Welcome to The Last Week of Jesus, a powerful teaching series that walks through the final days of Jesus Christ’s earthly ministry—day by day, moment by moment. In partnership with Rolling Hills Community Church, this in-depth Bible study unpacks the most climactic week in human history, when the eternal plan of redemption converged in the streets of Jerusalem, the shadows of the temple, the stillness of Gethsemane, and the agony of Golgotha.

Across eight sessions, we trace the footsteps of Jesus from Bethany to the empty tomb—revealing how every teaching, every confrontation, and every fulfillment of prophecy was orchestrated with divine precision. We ask the questions that matter:

• Why did Jesus have to die?

• Why does nearly 30% of the Gospels focus on just this final week?

• Is this historical record or holy legend?

You’ll see not only the spiritual gravity of the cross but also the political tensions, prophetic fulfillments, and personal betrayals that frame the Passion narrative. We’ll explore why religious leaders feared Him, why Rome crucified Him, and why history cannot ignore Him. From the Triumphal Entry to the Resurrection, from the anointing at Bethany to the betrayal in Gethsemane, we’ll walk through it all—anchored in Scripture, guided by theology, and stirred by worship.

This series was designed to be both expositional and devotional, rich in biblical content but accessible for everyday believers. Whether you’re studying alone, teaching a small group, or preparing for Easter reflections, The Last Week of Jesus will ground your heart in the gospel and stir your faith with the certainty that Jesus not only lived and died—but rose again.

“Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and enter into His glory?”

— Luke 24:26
