Devotion of the Week: Three years ago, do you remember what was happening? We were all dealing with something that was very inconvenient: the COVID-19 pandemic. There were so many questions, few answers, uncertainty about school, church, jobs, the economy, and how long it would last. There were so many heart breaking cancellations from church services, to vacations, to entire athletic seasons, and of course, school. There were even those who had to deal with the death of a loved one. Everyone was affected in some way and many were feeling very inconvenienced. Remember trying to find certain products you needed in a store, trying to schedule a doctor's appointment, trying to find child care, the uncertainty of your financial stability. Inconvenient? Absolutely!
During this Lenten season, we reflect upon the inconvenience of God the Father sending His one and only Son to be born in an inconvenient stable. We remember how He was inconveniently beaten, put on trial, bruised, punched, spit on, whipped, and nailed to a cross. Despite the inconvenience of Jesus spending 33 years of being perfect on the earth and having those who He came to save hang Him on the cross, we can give thanks and praise for His inconvenient crucifixion and His glorious resurrection. We pray that through the inconveniences that we experience on a daily basis, we are strengthened through reading and hearing God's Word, worshipping and receiving His body and blood regularly in Communion. The next time you find yourself in an inconvenient situation, reflect on the sacrifice of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God that through Him, we are FORGIVEN and redeemed and we will live eternally in perfection without ever being inconvenienced again!
Serving in Worship: The Seraphim Choir will sing on Sunday, March 19. Please have your child in the multi-purpose room at 9:10am ready to warm up. Thank you!
