We begin our Lenten Journey in March of 2025. Our sermon series throughout this season leading to Resurrection Sunday is:
In Sunday school when we asked our teachers, “Why did Jesus have to die?” they answered, “Jesus died to save us.” Maybe they gave us that simplistic answer because it seemed safer than saying, “Jesus died because he challenged the powers of this world.” In this series we will learn about the people who wanted Jesus dead, and we will discover that God is calling us still to resist the powers that conspired to put Jesus on the cross.
This series will focus on people who attempted to cut short the ministry of Jesus, but those people represented, in one way or another, the spiritual powers of this world that Jesus encountered in the wilderness. The people who tried to kill Jesus were consumed by selfish desires – the desire for comfort, the desire for power, the desire for glory.
