Fourth Sunday in Lent                                                         Sunday, March 19, 2023

3/19/2023

 
Baptism is sometimes called enlightenment. The gospel for this Sunday is the story of the man born blind healed by Christ. “I was blind, now I see,” declares the man. In baptism God opens our eyes to see the truth of who we are: God’s beloved children. As David was anointed king of Israel, in baptism God anoints our head with oil, and calls us to bear witness to the light of Christ in our daily lives.
Readings: 1 Samuel 16:1-13 - Psalm 23 - Ephesians 5:8-14 - John 9:1-41 

Sermon: Pastor Kathryn Gulbranson

Third Sunday in Lent                                                           Sunday, March 12, 2023

3/12/2023

 
In today’s gospel the Samaritan woman asks Jesus for water, an image of our thirst for God. Jesus offers living water, a sign of God’s grace flowing from the waters of baptism. The early church used this gospel and those of the next two Sundays to deepen baptismal reflection during the final days of preparation before baptism at Easter. As we journey to the resurrection feast, Christ comes among us in word, bath, and meal—offering us the life-giving water of God’s mercy and forgiveness.

Readings: Exodus 17:1-7 - Psalm 95 - Romans 5:1-11 - John 4:5-42

Second Sunday in Lent                                                         Sunday, March 5, 2023

3/5/2023

 
Introduction
During Lent we journey with all those around the world who will be baptized at the Easter Vigil. In today’s gospel Jesus tells Nicodemus that he must be born of water and Spirit. At the font we are a given a new birth as children of God. As God made a covenant with Abraham, in baptism God promises to raise us up with Christ to new life. From worship we are sent forth to proclaim God’s love for all the world.

Readings:  Genesis 12:1-4a - Psalm 121 - Romans 4:1-5, 13-17 - John 3:1-17 

Sermon: Pastor Kathryn Gulbranson
