We begin our new series called “Lenten Journey.” In it, we will be traveling with Christ as part of our Lenten reflection. Our first message is “To the Wilderness.” Today we look at Christ being tempted in the wilderness and we reflect on the way that we quote the Bible.
Our scripture readings come from Matthew 3:13-4:17.
Today’s message in Acting with Christ is “Look and Live.” We get a familiar scripture with what might be unfamiliar context. What have we set our sights on? What kind of example do we set? Is Christ at the center? Let us prepare our hearts to Act with Christ.
Our scripture readings come from Numbers 21:4-9 and John 3:14-21.
Our Lenten series is Act with Christ, and our first message in this series is “Get to the Wilderness.” Today we hear The familiar story of Christ’s baptism and temptation in the wilderness. But that was Jesus doing in the wilderness? How do we prepare ourselves for ministry? Let us prepare our hearts to Act with Christ.
Our scripture reading comes from Mark 1:9-15.
