Pastor Message for the week:
WE can’t do it alone. The scripture for Sunday states this clearly. I can do it myself is really not true when it comes to humanity and sin. Human beings are not able to save themselves from alienation and sin. Confronted with the problems of contemporary society, whether health, economics, social justice… a common response is to ask, “What do we do?”
The readings for this Sunday forcefully claim that it is not within human power to “solve” the problem of sin. The difficulty Lent poses is that it recalls not only the depth of human sin, but also the inability of human beings to “solve” their own problems. We are reminded that God, who holds the power of life and death, can and does, bring triumph over what Paul would call the realm of the flesh.
We discover the power and love of God as we worship. Join in!
Rev. Jenn
