He Trusted God

Second Sunday of Lent

Joel Russell-MacLean

This is God’s invitation to everyone and the focus of Lent:

We are all invited to return to God; to come home.

We are all invited to draw closer to the heart of our creator, whether it be for the first time or the thousandth time. Throughout the Sundays of Lent, we will look at various Scripture stories that invite us to return to our Lord.

This Sunday, we will reflect on the trust that Sarah and Abraham demonstrated throughout their life-long journey. 

Today is the second Sunday in Lent, a season to prepare ourselves for the coming of Easter and to help us see the hardships of life and even our death in the context of the resurrection and life everlasting. Lent is a season of 40 days plus 6 Sundays to prepare our hearts for the realities of Jesus going to the cross, in all its significance. For some, this may be the first opportunity to observe Lent. For others, this may be very familiar.

 

From Fear to Love – Lenten Devotional

To supplement our Sunday services, we are also inviting everyone to join us in reading a short daily devotional by Henri J.M. Nouwen entitled From Fear to Love.

If you have not picked up a copy, it’s not too late to join in as we seek to collectively encourage one another to draw closer to the heart of our amazing and loving God.
