Jesus teaches us this lesson with his parable(story) of the Good Samaritan. In his story, Jesus shows a man who showed love even when he wasn't "supposed to."  Two men who outwardly said they loved the Lord didn't stop to help the man who had been beaten. The Samaritan not only stopped when he was the least likely candidate, but also helped and cared for the beaten man. Jesus tel...

There are few things that crush the human soul more than the realization of helplessness. Such was the reality confronting the demoralized army of Israel and their disgraced king, Saul. Every day, the evil threats of their giant enemy echoed across the valley and into their ears. But one day, a new champion stood up in their defense. David defeated Goliath and left us a great story of the triumph of good versus evil. But it is more than a story. It is a picture of the greater battle fought and won by Christ on behalf of the Church opposed by her mortal enemy, Satan. The relief we need desperately is not found in ourselves but in the sinless substitution of Jesus.   Want to hear more? See you this weekend: Saturday at 5:15 p.m. • Sunday at 8 a.m. • Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

Having seen the glory of Christ revealed throughout the seasons of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany, the Christian Church now turns her attention to the road that will lead Christ to resurrection glory by way of the cross. But the road down which Christ leads us is a difficult one. During the 40 days of Lent, God calls his children to lives of repentance over the sins that impede and harass us every step of the way.  But we do not journey aimlessly or alone during Lent. On the contrary, we Christ in the lead, unmoved and unphased. And while the passion history gives us glimpses into his humiliation, the Sundays in Lent, give us a glimpse of his inevitable victory. As often as we stumble, Christ succeeds. As often as we witness our own failures, Christ bestows forgiveness.  For this reason, “Sundays have never been counted as part of the forty days. Thus, they are labeled Sundays in Lent rather than Sundays of Lent. Chrysostom referred to them as ‘inns… and havens, for those to ...
