We begin a short series in the Gospel of Mark by looking at Mark 1:40-45. In this story we will see Jesus' power to cleanse and to heal. We pray that as we look at this story, God's cleansing work will be both comforting and challenging to us.

This Sunday we will continue thinking about how we face some of the difficult challenges in life. We continue that discussion by asking how God calls us to be protected and face difficulty.

This Sunday we will think about the challenges we face in life and how God strengthens us to face those challenges. As we look at Ephesians 6:10-20, we will remember the difficulties we face while we remember the bigger truth of God’s victory.

This Sunday we will talk about the freedom of submission. We praise God that He gives us specific and helpful guidance for how to live our lives together.

On Sunday we will continue talking about the Old Testament feasts by looking at the Feast of Booths. As we think through this feast, we will remember that God calls us to trust Him to meet both our physical and our spiritual needs. On this week of Lent we remember that God meets our deepest needs.

As we continue through Lent this week, we will look at the Feast of Weeks which also became known as Pentecost. We will remember that God gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit.
