Almighty God, guide us to seek your Truth: come
whence it may, cost what it will, lead where it might. Amen.
Over
the five Sundays of this Lenten season, the sermons will all have a common
theme. Each sermon will stand as an independent reflection, but there will be a
common thread that ties them all together. Traditionally, Lent is a season of
focus – we focus more intently on God through prayer and reading Scripture, we
focus more on making changes to benefit our soul, we focus on what matters
most. Many of us would say that our faith, that God, that our Church is one of
the most important things in our lives. And that is a truly wonderful thing,
it’s a blessing to serve a church where people put faith first in their lives.
The invitation of Lent is to go deeper into that common priority.
