Reading: Exodus 20:1-17; John 2:13-22
This is the second sermon in our "Engage" series for Lent. Since Lent is a time of self-examination, we're focusing on ways we can engage our faith with our actions. This week we looked at engaging more directly with God through worship.

Engage: Others
Reading: Jeremiah 31:31-34; John 12:20-33
Technically we're starting Lent a week late at PLWC, but we had some missionaries with us last week. Our Lent will be focused on engaging our faith with our actions if a variety of ways, and we're beginning by focusing on engaging with other people. The plan is to pray for and hopefully invite people to join us either for our week of prayer during Holy Week or for our Easter services.
Also, the sermon worked a little differently this time around. The introductory part of the sermon came earlier in the worship service than normal, so if, while you're reading, you think I was being particularly long-winded, try to think of it as 25% more sermon for free.

Hiding in Plain Sight
Reading: 2 Corinthians 4:3-6; Mark 9:2-9
I'm more than a week late posting this sermon, but since I didn't preach last Sunday this should catch us up. We celebrated communion together a couple of Sundays ago on what was the last Sunday of Epiphany as well as the last Sunday before Lent. We read the story of the Transfiguration and reflected once again on the revelation of God, though this time we saw that revelation before us in the Lord's Supper.

One Reason
Reading: Psalm 30; 2 Kings 5:1-14; Mark 1:40-45
Our readings for this week had to do with lepers and how they were healed, but we saw that they were healed from more than just their disease.

Choosing Our Words
Reading: 1 Corinthians 9:16-23; Mark 1:29-39
It's been a few weeks since I've posted because I haven't preached in that time. Things are back to normal now, though, or as normal as they ever get in a parsonage. I'm hoping to post some more content later this week to make up for the recent lack, so check back in a few days. In the meantime, our sermon last Sunday continued along the theme of Epiphany, during which we learn about the revealing of Jesus.
