What did you have for Fat Tuesday?
We splurged and had a Pizza with Sausage, Pepperoni, Bacon & Onions, it was great, and one of the things we are giving up during Lent.
You need not give up anything for Lent, as Christ Purchase and sacrifice is complete, I just find the exercise helps me in our Lenten reflections.
Let’s run to worship

Scripture & Homily
Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel."
1st?Mt 16:21 ? From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day.
2nd?Mt 17:9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."
3rd?Mt 20:17 ? As Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the way He said to them,
?18 "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death,
?19 and will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and scourge and crucify Him, and on the third day He will be raised up."
?
Homily
Lent Starts a 46 day period where we focus on Jesus leaving the Galilean area and turn HIS face toward Jerusalem.
Each step HE will take will place HIM more and more in danger.
As we will study during these 46 days and as our readings pointed out is this is not an unplanned trip to the Cross.
In fact as our readings point to this was always the plan and from the beginning of time the only way a HOLY and Righteous GOD can be rescue us from our sins.
Whether you give something up for Lent or not is something for you to personally decide, there is NO Scripture to demand this. I have chosen since we supported a fellow worker at Warren Lumber in 2002 who was giving up something and we all decided to give up the same thing as not to tempt.
I found that during this period I became more focused on Jesus turning toward Jerusalem and HIS appointment with the Cross, and the deeper study on this amazing price HE would pay to redeem a Chief Sinner like me!
If someone asks you “What Do you think Jesus should have done to have had his Ministry be successful? This was asked of a prominent Nationally known Pastor and sadly I think he was caught off guard as He fumbled and did not answer.
Our answer is this was a totally successful ministry, and fulfilled all that was required of HIM.
We will be looking at this path through out Lent.
May the LORD Richly Bless You In Christ Jesus Our LORD

?The LORD’S Prayer & Apostles Creed
Matthew 6:9 ? And Jesus said "In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
?10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.
?11 Give us this day our daily bread.
?12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.
?13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Christian What Do You Believe?
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth: And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell; The third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; The Holy Catholic Church; (this is the Holy World Wide Church of Jesus Christ and not singled out to the Roman Catholic Church) The Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body, And the Life everlasting. Amen.
