Text 1 Peter 3:13-22
Our first Sunday in Lent called us to remember who we are in Christ. We are a peculiar or "chosen" people, marked out by our baptism. This letter is a call to be encouraged, even when we face trials or suffering because of it. Baptism calls us to remember Christ's passion on our behalf.

Lent Week 2: Abraham, Faith, Covenant and Continuity, February 25, 2018

Text: Romans 4:13-25
On the second Sunday of Lent we examined the biblical story of Abraham. His faith is an example that still calls to us today. From Abraham would come the seed through whom all nations of the world will be blessed. The call and covenant of God with Abraham would have been a story that Jesus would have been familiar with. It is ultimatley a story of God's faithfulness. This faith story provides continuity between the Old and New Testaments. We cannot understand the latter without the former.

Lent Week 3: The Two Tablets of the Ten Commandments, March 4, 2018

Text: Exodus 20:1-17
On the third Sunday in Lent we take a look at the two tables known as Ten Commandments.
Tablet One deals with loving God.
Tablet Two deals with loving our neighbors.
The call for the Christian is to keep these two callings ever before us. As we love the LORD our God with all of our heart, mind, soul and strength, we will then live such lives that allow us to love and affrim our neighbors.
