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!
