On this first Sunday in Lent, we join Jesus in the wilderness, a place of wild and dangerous things. A place of testing and temptation away from the security of home. As we face our own frailty, we realize that the wilderness is not nearly as dangerous as our choices to prioritize selfish gain and hoarding of power. We find our security in Jesus, who does not waver from the truth. Our Lenten worship series “The Hardest Part” is from author, podcast host, and Associate Professor of American Religious History at Duke Divinity School Kate Bowler. Rev. Ron Bartlow  gives today’s sermon “Terrible and Beautiful!”, with scripture from Deuteronomy 26:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13.

Let us know you’re here!
