Message for this week

As we gather for worship on the first Sunday in Lent, the Scripture readings call us to pious and godly lives.  The Old Testament reading clearly portrays the results of ignoring God’s Word and following instead the interpretation of another.  By allowing our own wants and desires to guide us, we have aroused God’s righteous anger, and separated ourselves from His grace and favor.  Yet He did not leave us helpless, condemned in our sin, but sent His Son to be obedient for us and to resist the temptations of Satan where we had failed, so that He might be a sacrifice unblemished by disobedience, able to reconcile God and man.  As disciples of the Lord, we are summoned to learn His will, to recognize His ways, and to follow in His paths.  Through the instruction of His Word in our worship, Sunday school, and Bible classes, He strengthens us to resist the temptations of the devil and assures us of the victory we share in Jesus Christ.
