We are now in the season of Lent, The tradition of Lent actually goes back to around 325 AD, when the church would lead new believers and converts to repent and fast for 40 days prior to their baptism on Easter.

They mirrored the example they saw in Jesus Christ, who went into the wilderness to fast for 40 days.

Lent is about Restoration and this restoration begins with letting go—letting go of distractions, and anything that dulls our hunger for God.

Just as Jesus resisted the devil’s temptations in the wilderness, we are called to surrender anything that competes with God’s place in our hearts.​

Lent is a time to lay these things down and allow God’s grace to restore what is broken.

This season let us take the opportunity to reset, realign, and refresh our faith.

Blessings

Pastor John
