Our sermon for Ash Wednesday emphasizes the importance of repentance and the significance of wearing ashes as a sign of humility before God. It encourages us to reflect on our spiritual practices, avoiding hypocrisy by not using our faith as a means to elevate ourselves above others, as highlighted in the teachings from the Gospel of Matthew (e.g., fasting and praying in secret). The message also invites us to break our usual patterns during Lent, fostering a deeper reliance on God and prompting self-examination of what we truly trust for security and comfort.
We would love to see you at worship on Sundays at 8:30 am or 10:30 am. Visit us at www.alcrpv.org
