Broken For Us: A Lent Series

This Lenten series contemplates the reasons why Jesus is going to the cross. Our lives are hard—because of our own sinfulness, but also because of the actions of the world. God knows this and has promised to deliver us from the pain of this world. He promises the ultimate redemption of the world and of all those who believe. The concentration of his promises is found in Jesus’s cross.
Lent: The Power of the Gospel

This six-week series for Ash Wednesday and the Sundays in Lent celebrates the power of the gospel by lifting up some of the key ways Jesus demonstrated his power during his lifetime. By healing, forgiving, raising a child from the dead, walking on water, and exorcising a demon, Jesus declares himself the Son of God and prepares us to witness with fresh eyes his greatest power on Easter morning: his power over life and death for all time and all people. Our own power to believe and thrive in faith grows as we tap into the power he repeatedly demonstrates.
