Carry On | Lent Devotion Intro

Introduction:

Easter’s mission is “to grow in faith and carry on the work of Jesus Christ”. Easter people live this out in dynamic, powerful ways that cross ministry areas, age groups, worship styles, buildings, and even nations. We continue to celebrate God’s mission at Easter and that we get to be a part of it.

What does it really mean to “carry on the work of Jesus Christ”? In this Lenten season, we get an opportunity to truly focus on what Jesus has taught us and how we live it out. In particular, we will look at five vital parts of life at Easter and how we carry on the work of our Savior through them. Easter people carry on the work of Jesus when we connect, give, care, learn, and worship. These are all key components of Christian life that happen in many ways at Easter.

This Lent, let’s reflect together on the exciting and dynamic ways that Easter carries on this holy work. You can use this devotion in many ways: for your personal reflection, for conversations at the dinner table, in your Life Group, as a Bible study, or in any way that is meaningful for you. Join us at worship on Sunday mornings and Wednesdays at 5:45 pm on the Hill during Lent. In these services, we will continue the conversation, hear more about the fullness of life at Easter, and stay focused on the work God has for us in Lent, at Easter, and beyond.
