By Reverend Shelley McVea

Fourth Sunday of Lent

Shelley begins today’s sermon by sharing a few embarrassing events and asks, how much harder it is to acknowledge our sins. It would be so much nicer if we could live without sin, but we are just like everybody else. But the Bible speaks a truth that talks about the children of Israel being saved from slavery. Although they sang when they first came out of Egypt, they have been wandering in the wilderness, and now they are starting to feel disgruntled and impatient. They were tired of the food and started to imagine that they would be better off back in Egypt.

Then serpents, snakes, came among the people and some were bitten and some died. The people ask Moses to ask God to save them.

Today’s sermon is based on the lessons for the Fourth Sunday in Lent Year B (RCL)

Numbers 21:4-9

Ephesians 2:1-10

John 3:14-21

Psalm 107:1-3, 17-22
