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.

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

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.

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

Today we meditate on Luke 19 and Psalm 150.

Today we worship with a song from Pastor Josh.

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.

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

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.

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