The Christian life is one of walking with God. It involves faithfully following Jesus on whatever road he leads. The journey, however, is not without its perils. In his famous hymn, “Amazing Grace,” Newton refers to the “many dangers, toils, and snares” one can anticipate following Jesus. With each step along the path, a cacophony of voices can be heard vying for our attention, calling for us to tune out the voice of Jesus and turn another way. But the life of discipleship is always one focused on the voice of the Lord and following wherever he leads.

Voices is a Lenten sermon series challenging the follower of Jesus to remain fixed upon him. He has demonstrated what it means to be faithful in both life and death, and he promises everything we need to follow in his footsteps.

Yes, through many dangers, toils and snares we have already come. But, “’tis Grace that brought me safe thus far and Grace will lead me home.”
