Lent
The Second Sunday of Lent
Brothers and sisters,
As noted last week, we have launched weekly sermon videos. These enable you to catch up online through the season of Lent, and help us to reach people who are not able to come to church, or may be thinking about coming along in future. A new sermon has been released this week, links below.
There are two links: the full playlist where all of the videos are kept: https://tinyurl.com/bdc27jhv and a link for this week, the Second Sunday of Lent: https://youtu.be/E4fw4w0o-zk. Please like and subscribe, and share this in any way you can to support the church mission.
Our Gospel this Sunday is from the Gospel of John and we hear that we must be born from above, and be re-born of the Spirit. Our Baptism is the moment that the Spirit comes upon us and we are born again, we die to sin and are born into the body of Christ. Baptism is truly transformational!
We also hear that God loved his world, and us, so much that he gave Jesus, his son, a part of himself, that we may live with God in glory. Jesus redeems our world and heals every one of our ills.
This greatest sacrifice is remembered at Easter, a moment we are preparing for. Jesus has done all the work, suffering agony that we might live. That we may be part of the body of Christ and see his glory.
