This six-week journey through Lent invites us to walk thoughtfully toward the cross, exploring the profound depths of God's grace revealed in Jesus Christ. Each week, we will unpack a different facet of the salvation story, moving from the eternal character of God to the enduring hope He secures for us.
Week 1: Mercy for All Time – We begin by grounding ourselves in the unchanging, merciful heart of God—the foundation upon which the story of redemption is built.
Week 2: The Purpose of His Passion – We delve into the "why" of the cross, examining the intentional love and specific mission Jesus fulfilled through His sacrifice.
Week 3: Joy and Sorrow – In the tension of Lent, we explore the paradoxical coexistence of deep sorrow for sin and the profound joy of being loved and redeemed, found in Christ's journey.
Week 4: Mercy Made Manifest – We see God's abstract mercy become concrete and personal in the life, ministry, and suffering of Jesus, displayed most clearly on the cross.
Week 5: Passion and Perseverance – Looking to Jesus as our example, we connect His unwavering commitment to His mission with our call to faithfully follow Him, even through trials.
Week 6: Joy to Come – Our journey culminates by fixing our eyes on the resurrection hope and everlasting joy secured by Christ’s victory, which transforms our present and our future.
Join us as we seek to fully understand the magnificent grace offered to us through the death and resurrection of Jesus, preparing our hearts to celebrate Easter with renewed wonder and faith.
