Continuing our Lenten journey towards Easter, we are reclaiming and recalling God's covenant promises. With our Jewish sisters and brothers, we celebrate how the Torah—God's Instruction—comes as a gracious gift to liberated people. Observing the Ten Commandments is part of our discipleship, which is why we need to ask what Jesus is really up to on the Sabbath.

Pastor Ben Masters preached "A Covenant for Free People" on March 7, 2021, the third Sunday in Lent.

Scripture readings: Exodus 20:1-17 and Mark 2:23-3:5

Megan shared the Exodus reading from The Spark Story Bible: Sunday School Edition, published by Augsburg Fortress © 2009.
