Coming Up Sunday, March 4

On Sunday we will continue our Lenten journey together toward Holy Week and Easter.  As we enter March, we will go deeper into our consideration of the sinful context of our broken world in our sermon series, "Curses."  In the past couple of weeks, we've considered the general nature of sin and the passing of sin from generation to generation, stunting our spiritual growth.  This week, with "Fallen Gods: The Curse of the Captured Ark," we will explore how God reacts to our efforts to place our passions on pedestals, exalting them as we should honor God alone.

We will explore our identity in light of one of the funniest stories in the Bible about what happens to a Philistine god after the ancient warriors captured the Ark of the Covenant and brought it into their sanctuary.  If you want a chuckle before Sunday, you might look up 1 Samuel 5.
