The season of Lent —a 40-day period (excluding Sundays) of reflection, repentance, prayer, and spiritual renewal—mirrors Jesus' 40 days of fasting and temptation in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). It prepares our hearts for the solemnity of Good Friday and the joy of Easter Sunday.

One transformative way to observe Lent is by reading the New Testament daily to deepen one’s understanding. To help with your reading journey, Pastor Rusty will produce a podcast that overviews each New Testament book. Listen to clear, practical overviews of New Testament passages, illuminating the Scripture and connecting it to daily life and Christ's redemptive work—ideal companionship for Lent. A schedule for reading the New Testament will be provided, and more instructions will be forthcoming.
