Sermon for the Second Sunday in Lent

March 4, 2007

Trust & Faith
Written by the Rev. G. H. R. Butler
 

Lent is a time when all Christians are called to examine their relationship with God.  Something we should be doing during the year, but for us, the penitential season of Lent calls us to make a deliberate effort to set aside time to specifically look at our faith; our trust in God, our trust in the promises that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ made by his death and resurrection.

With the help of passages from both the Old and New Testaments, we can journey to the cross with Jesus, to once more try and gain a deeper understanding of why Jesus chose to die such a horrid death for us, so that hopefully we will gain a deeper comprehension of the significance of His resurrection on Easter Sunday.

Remember, it is a journey in what faith means to each of us.  There are no simple answers, there are no right or wrong answers, each of us have our own relationship with God and our own understanding of what it means to be in relationship with God.  We gather as a community to support and uphold one another in that relationship.
