In a time of testing, what is the way you choose to cope…to be comfortable…to get through to the other side of the testing? Is it the path that seems easier, or is it the way God would have you walk in order that you might experience more of Who He is in your life?
w/ Vern Collins and Lory Beth Huffman
from Isaiah 30:8-18
As we begin this season of Lent and our new series, “Broken,” you are invited to come to terms with, to name the brokenness in your life. Sin is the great equalizer…not of are exempt from its effects, and yet in Christ we find that not only does God know something about our brokenness, but is willing to enter in to it.
Over the next several weeks we are going to consider how our sin creates brokenness in different areas of our lives…beginning with how it affects your relationship with God. While you are being invited to come to terms with your brokenness, know that God longs to bring healing…that God longs to and promises to take that which is broken and redeem it, turning it into something beautiful.

As we begin our journey through the season of Lent, we invite you to consider Lent perhaps differently than you ever have before.
What if, instead of surrendering some habit you are trying to break, or feeling guilty about the things you can’t surrender or simply don’t want to surrender, you saw Lent as a time to rest? A time to rest in the ground of God’s goodness, and allow God to speak to you about who you truly are as one loved deeply by Him.

from Matthew 4:1-4 and 2 Timothy 3:10-17
You know the saying, “You are what you eat.” The idea being, what you eat affects your health and your life in general.
In Jesus’ temptation to turn stones to bread, He responds by saying that it is not bread alone that we need to survive…rather it is God’s Word that truly sustains us and gives us life…the question is, are we consuming God’s Word the way Jesus suggests?
Imagine what might change in your life if God’s voice began to overpower the voices that tend to vie for your attention…

from Luke 4:1-13
How do you handle interruptions to your plans? What do you do when it seems that things are starting to run off the rails? How do you handle those obstacles?
What about the obstacles and interruptions in your relationship with Jesus? How do you handle giving in to temptation?
The moment you decide to make a new beginning in Christ is the moment the enemy will begin working against you. May you find strength and comfort and hope for the rest of the journey in knowing that Christ allowed himself to be tempted on your behalf…so that you would find grace and strength when you face those things that get in the way.
