First Sunday in Lent

(Read Matthew 4:1-11)
Today is a gift of grace from God, it is a respite on the wilderness journey. In the midst of all the competing voices offering all the satisfaction we want, all the security we can imagine, all the power we could ever desire . . . there, in the midst of our journey, is this holy time of faith.
Today is a gift of grace from God, it is all the bread we could ever want.
Today is a gift of grace from God, it is all the security for which we could ever pray.
Today is a gift of grace from God, it is all the world to me in howling of those who desire the world.
Today is a gift of grace from God: receive it. Simply receive it - and give thanks for the gift to the One from whom all things flow.
Church Sign of the week:
Looking for Jesus online
is like taking a cruise on
a screensaver: Neither
is very satisfying.
Your servant in Christ,
Pastor Don
