Lent: Sacrifice

Sacrifice. We live in a culture that prefers convenience over sacrifice. What does it mean to sacrifice? What does it look like to give up something because you love someone? What did it feel like for God to sacrifice His son in order to redeem the world? How can we sacrifice our lives to our city and world as Christ did? Over the 40 days of Lent, the church historically set aside these days to remember the sacrifice of Christ through his death and resurrection on the cross. During these next few weeks join us for conversation, meditation and reflection on Christ, his sacrifice, and what sacrifice looks like in our lives.

Each of our Neighborhood groups will be giving a group sermon each Sunday during Lent and we will be following the Lectionary calendar.
