Daily: Lent 2022

On the Cross

April 15, 2022 • Pastor Chris Douglas

As I sing this song, “You Were On The Cross” my prayer is that we will once again come face to face with the suffering that Christ endured on behalf of us. What greater love has been poured out than by Jesus on the cross.

Fast: To Suffer With

April 14, 2022 • Avery Marks

To fast is powerful in part because we are choosing to step into suffering. It’s counterintuitive and requires a death of ego, a death of self. To fast is to choose to suffer physical pain—however small. Fasting is an opportunity to enter into solidarity with Christ’s suffering, who was in solidarity with ours.

Stations of the Cross

April 13, 2022 • Pastor Nina Schmidgall • 2 Corinthians 5

The Stations of the Cross is a traditional Lenten devotion where believers read Scripture and ponder scenes from the day of Jesus’s death. These stations, or scenes, help guide our prayers as we meditate on Christ’s sacrifice for us.

Way of the Cross

April 12, 2022 • Debra De Los Reyes

I invite you to lean back into the arms of The Father. Abba. Love of all. Yet lean in. Posture your heart. Your ear…

John 12 | Psalm 71

April 11, 2022 • Dr. Louis McCall

Today we reflect on John 12:20-36 and Psalm 71:1-8, 19-23

Son of David

April 8, 2022 • Pastor Joshua Coad

Join me in worship today with a song, “Son of David” by Hillsong Worship. A song about repentance and restoration that feels especially appropriate for this Lenten season.

Deactivate, Reactivate, Activate

April 7, 2022 • Kaleb Heppe

In this season of fasting, what is the Holy Spirit deactivating, reactivating, and activating within your own heart?

Reading Scripture

April 6, 2022 • Pastor Heather Zempel

I want to talk about the idea that being a follower of Jesus means that we are a student of His words, an imitator of His ways, and a partner in His mission. Becoming a student of the words of Jesus means we are intentional about the spiritual discipline of engaging the text of Scripture in a variety of ways so that we can understand it, internalize it, articulate it, and activate it in our lives.

Prayer of Confession

April 5, 2022 • Pastor Jenni Clayville

Today, I’m going to help guide us through The Prayer of Confession from the "Book of Common Prayer”.

Luke 19, Psalm 150

April 4, 2022 • Natalia Guzman • Luke 19:28–40, Psalm 150

Today we meditate on Luke 19 and Psalm 150.

Nothing Else

April 1, 2022 • Pastor Joshua Coad

Today we worship with a song from Pastor Josh.

Fasting as Worship

March 31, 2022 • Pastor Chris Douglas

Fasting as a means of worship is another way that we cultivate a spiritual habit of bringing a sacrifice of praise. Fasting is following in the way of Jesus by denying ourselves. It is a way to put some skin in the game for our worship life.

Discipline of Service

March 30, 2022 • Pastor Marion Mason

Today as we continue in our series of Lent, I’d like to share a little about the discipline of service.

Watch and Pray

March 29, 2022 • Pastor Heidi Scanlon

Watch and pray. As we progress through lent we will come to encounter Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane the place where he prays so hard he sweats blood. I’ve never prayed that hard. As I think about this part of the passion, I am reflecting on the fact that Jesus brings three of His friends with Him in His hour of need — hoping they too will pray.

Luke 19 | Psalm 27

March 28, 2022 • Dee Jackson

Today we meditate on Luke 19:1-10 and Psalm 27 read by Dee Jackson.
