Repenting

Lent 2019 Worship Planning Series

Third Sunday in Lent 2019, Year C

Tradition compels us to think of Lent as a time of self-denial and intense introspection and contemplation. This season sets itself apart as a time of fasting from the luxurious and indulgent. A boisterous feast at God’s table is the last thing that we would expect to see embodied in the words of our lectionary Scripture for this week.

With All Your Heart Worship Series: REPENTING
Third Sunday in Lent — March 24, 2019

Planning for this Series

This week, consider setting your altar with a vision of feasting versus fasting. At one end of the table set out your “feast,” at the other end, your “fast.” What does this look like in your context? As our preaching notes writers have said, by this third week in Lent, people may begin to weary of this long holy season. Especially if your congregation is used to three- and four-week sermon series, you may need to capture their attention again. What does it look like to turn back to God at this point in the season?
