Tomorrow night I'll be preaching at the Ash Wednesday service at Christ the Redeemer Lutheran Church is Phoenix. The service is at 6 pm. Below is a portion of the sermon.
So we
begin this penitential season tonight.
And it’s a good thing. We can
rend our hearts and be honest where we have failed to keep God’s commands. But living in the promises of baptism, we
repent and restart. We receive our Lord’s
forgiveness. We feast on His body and
blood. And we remember that another
Feast is coming, not the one that happens on the first and third Sundays of
each month. The one that is coming is
different. It’s the one that has no end.
It takes place in the Kingdom of God.
And your invitation is waiting.
