Preparation for Sunday Service
For Sunday the 1st of March, 2026 (Second Sunday in Lent)
As we gather for worship on the second Sunday in Lent, the readings remind us that God has approached men and women who had no cause to expect anything good from Him and graciously invited them to be His people, generously promising them overwhelming blessings. In the Gospel reading we see Jesus working to lead a single individual to faith in him and also hear of God’s love for the whole world and his desire that all people would believe and so have eternal life. As we continue through this Lenten season, we see again how our Lord humbled Himself to supply rich blessing for us both now and in all eternity, are strengthened in our faith, and are led to a greater appreciation of all we have in Him who was “lifted up” on the cross to save us.
