Lent is the 40 day period before Easter that mirrors the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness in preparation for His time in ministry and ultimately His journey to the cross. Each year, in solidarity with Christ’s sacrifice of comforts in the desert and in preparation for Easter - Christians give up comforts for the season of Lent. Rather than giving up sweets and social media we’ll be discussing giving up control, the rush and complaining.

Today we enter into Lent and our series "Give" where we discuss giving up a number of things this season as we draw closer to Easter. Today we will focus in on the concept of control and how holding onto control doesn't honor the path set before us by Jesus and in giving up control we grow closer to Him. Thought it is hard - it is well worth it!

Today we continue in the season of Lent and our series "Give" where we discuss giving up a number of things this season as we draw closer to Easter. Today we will focus in on the concept of complaining (how that is related to control - from last week) and how this is one of the most widely accepted sins in society; even Christianity. Complaining says a lot about the posture of our heart towards God! We'll continue looking at the story of the Israelites from last week and how their heart posture differed from Moses. What can we learn from both? Stick with us to learn more!

Today we begin to wrap up our Lent series "Give" where we have been discussing intentionally giving up specific patterns in our lives to honor God (ie: control & complaining). This morning we focus on the final component of our Lent fast: The Rush. How can we live both a "hurried" life and a "peaceful" life? We'll look at the story of Mary and Martha and discuss the ways that rushing has infiltrated our culture. But the conclusion is this: we NEED to exchange the hurried for the purposeful. Stick with us to learn more!

Happy Easter! HE IS RISEN! This morning we gather together to celebrate an empty tomb and a risen savior. Over the last number of weeks we've discussed opening our hands and letting go of things we've held onto and today that all culminates in the resurrection. Pastor Nick wraps up our "Give" series by discussing the hope and power the resurrection has to bring us new life and a new way to live. Join us to learn more!
