Readings: Deuteronomy 26:1-11 / Psalm 91:1-2, 9-16 / Romans 10:8b-13 / Luke 4:1-13
Introduction: These forty days called Lent are like no other. It is our opportune time to return to the God who rescues, to receive the gifts of God’s grace, to believe with the heart and confess with the mouth the wonder of God’s love in Jesus, and to resist temptation at every turn. This is no small pilgrimage on which we have just embarked. It is a struggle Jesus knew. It is a struggle Jesus shares. The nearness of the Lord, in bread and wine, water and word, will uphold and sustain us.
Sermon: Pastor Kathryn Gulbranson
