    Contrition is the entire process of fasting, prayer, confession and repentance through amending one's behavior and making right those wrongs which don't hurt others.

    “Lent is one of the oldest observations on the Christian calendar. Like all Christian holy days and holidays, it has changed over the years, but its purpose has always been the same: self-examination and penitence, demonstrated by self-denial, in preparation for Easter. Early church father ...read more

    This is my 2008 sermon for our "Lenten Lunch" series. It focuses on spiritual discipline.

    Each Friday night after work, Bubba would fire up his outdoor grill and cook up some big delicious steaks. Nothing wrong with that… but, you see… all of Bubba’s neighbors were Catholic. Since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat on Friday. The delicious aroma from the grilled ...read more

    WHAT IS LENT? 2 Corinthians 13:5,6 TEXT: Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test your-selves.

    Giving Up Lent For Lent

    I am giving up Lent for Lent this year, at least the way the Church typically does Lent. Lord is not interested in what I give up for just 40 days and return to it. He is interested in me giving up the sins in my life which will make Easter more joyous

    TITLE: GIVING UP LENT FOR LENT SCRIPTURE: ST LUKE 9:22-24 / II CORINTHIANS 13:5-6 Although Easter is the most significant of the Christian holidays it does not enjoy the kind of enthusiastic fanfare afforded Christmas or even Thanksgiving. Lent is a forty-day period before Easter. It begins on ...read more

    A sermon to inspire believers to engage in a period of fasting during the Lenten Season.

    The six weeks before Easter is called the "Lenten Season". It is a time to focus on the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus died for our sins, giving us life, and through His resurrection, we have the hope of eternal life in heaven. • Lent comes from the word "lengthen," ...read more

     | 6,756 views

    It takes work to give up something for Lent, but before you can give up anything for God, first you have to get up and decide to go to work for Him. Before you can do the Lenten "give-up", you have to get up!

    Welcome to the first Sunday of Lent that season of the church year where people who attended church were once traditionally asked to give something up for the season. What have you given up for Lent lately? Often the idea of a making a personal sacrifice for God falls on deaf ears. What does God ...read more

    This is a service for a "Lenten Lunch" gathering at the beginning of Lent, asking "Why should Protestants give something up for Lent?"

Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed 10 and called out, "Stand up on your feet!" At that, the man jumped up and began ...read more

    Most people attempt to give something up for Lent. But is what we give up for Lent beneficial to us or to God?

    This past Wednesday, the collective whole of the Christendom observed Ash Wednesday. A day in the church year when we are reminded of our mortality, but more importantly, reminded of our reliance on God, both for life in this world and for life in the next. This day is the mark of the beginning of ...read more

     | 7,133 views

    The last sermon in the Lenten Catechesis series, this sermon focuses on the sacrament of Holy Communion.

    One of the things I discovered very quickly in my earlier years as a parish pastor is the joy that Pastors have, and the special relationship that they develop with homebound members of the congregation. In many cases, these dear older saints are people who because of their advanced age and lack ...read more

    It takes DISCIPLINE to run the race, and win.

    "Discipline" Read: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 There are many people who do certain things wrong, that really have no idea they are wrong at all.

    Discipline is a discipline in faithfulness. The issue of our money and possessions is really an issue of ownership. It’s an issue of whom I work for. Who am I responsible to?

    Discipline Matthew 25:14-30 This past two weeks we’ve been talking about financial freedom. The first step to financial freedom is devotion to God. That happens when we’re free from possession obsession, from deficit thinking (I don’t have enough money to give back to God) and from fear which ...read more
