Lenten Series: March 6 – April 17, 2022
As we head into Lenten season, our hope is you will understand that we have a Savior that suffered much for us. Along with being tempted in every way, our Savior suffered in every way emotionally, physically, socially and relationally. As God and man, he experienced loneliness, grief, mockery, exhaustion, brutalization, betrayal, abandonment and misrepresentation. The benefit of reflecting on His suffering is to understand the extent of His love for us and His compassion for us in our suffering. This journey is an unlikely one that we would choose to take alone, but by doing it together we can become ones who experience and embody the passion of Christ.
I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!
Philippians 3:10-11
Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.
Hebrews 2:18
GOAL OF SERIES
- Understand that Jesus knows your suffering and is there for you
