A Lenten Sermon Series for 2024
This Lenten season we will explore what it means to be in covenant relationship with God. Most adults have had the experience of signing a contract or other legal document. To borrow money, rent an apartment, or buy a car, we are asked to sign on the dotted line. Contracts are built on dis-trust, protecting ourselves from liability if the other person doesn’t hold up his or her end of the bargain. Yet healthy human development and relationships are built on trust. Trust becomes possible only when we willfully and lovingly yield all authority and power and make ourselves vulnerable. The deepest and most eternal trust that undergirds our souls comes from a relationship with God, who has given all to be with us and keeps not only God’s promises but ours as well, in an unbreakable love known as covenant.
