Isaiah 58:1-12, Psalm 5:1-17 | Before going on a journey, it behooves us to be honest. Just as silly as it would be to set out on a journey of hundreds of miles with no gas and no gas station in sight, it also is deceptive for us to begin our journey of seeking without taking a moment to be honest with ourselves and honest with God. So as you begin your Lenten journey, join us as we offer ourselves honestly to God, as we confess our sin, as we turn in repentance, and as we receive the promise that even as scattered, broken, people we are forgiven by our God who is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
