The season of Lent is a forty-day period of fasting and prayer that begins on Ash Wednesday and prepares for the feast of Easter. Originally lasting only a week, it became a forty-day season during the 7th century to coincide with the forty days Christ spent in the wilderness. While fasting and penitential works do not save a person, they find their value in drawing believers closer to God.
For the Lenten season of 2025, our weekly sermon series, “The Way of Sorrows,” will follow Jesus on his journey to the cross. Beginning with his trial before Pilate, we will walk the Via Dolorosa with him, making several stops along the way. Together we will explore the implications of this journey and learn more of what it means to deny ourselves, take up our own cross, and follow him (Matthew 16:24).
The sacrifices of discipleship do not atone for sin, but they are essential to a life of faithful following. Let us travel this road through sorrow to glory with Christ, together.
