Last Words: Preparation | Phil EuBank

Lent is a tradition of many Christian churches around the world. It is an opportunity to fast from something in order to cultivate spiritual hunger in its place. Our Last Words sermon series will parallel our Lent Devotional and help our community experience a season in which God awakens us to the meaning of Christ’s death and resurrection and its implications for our lives. In this message, we consider some of the first words of Jesus before we look at his last words on the cross each week leading up to Easter. We will see how Jesus faced temptation and entered into his own season of spiritual preparation that is the foundation for Lent.

This Lenten season we are focusing on Jesus’s last words on the cross as a way to know him and follow in his way of love. To help us journey through lent together we have created a special Lent Devotional. Dive into these resources individually and as a Life Group to discover the beauty of Jesus and the opportunity Lent provides for us to go deeper on our journey of discovery, questioning and faith.
