This series explores the historic Christian season of Lent—from Ash Wednesday through Palm Sunday. This rich Christian tradition points us back to the reality of our sin and our desperate need for a Savior. During this season, we focus on the multifaceted aspects of repentance: recognition of our sin, hope in a Savior, and obedience as a response to his grace. Rather than engage in empty ceremony or purely internal spiritual growth, we learn that observance of this season produces in us a richer faith for the sake of the world. In this episode, "The Real Reference", God wants us to discipline and direct our desires, not display self-righteousness. Our repentance and acknowledgement of sin during Lent should not be merely external, but rooted in internal commitment to turning back to God.
