Lent

Lent is not a season focused on earning our place with God or proving our worth to Him. It is a season designed to cultivate attentive listening. To help us meditate on Christ’s sufferings, our sin, and the many blessings Christ purchased and guarantees for us at the cross.

This year, our journey through Lent follows a sermon series we are calling Letters From the Cross. Through this series we want to listen to what the death of Jesus communicates about God and ourselves. The cross not only accomplished the forgiveness of our sins, but also granted us access, offered us peace, secured our freedom, gave us new life, became our security, established His victory, and bolstered our hope for the future. Some days may feel clear and comforting; others may feel quiet and weighty. Both are faithful ways of walking through Lent. Our invitation to you is to remain near the cross and to let its meaning deepen as you meditate.
