As we begin the season of Lent, we reflect on its purpose—not just as a time of fasting, but as an opportunity to intentionally draw closer to God. This sermon explores why Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness and how his experience parallels Moses’ time on Mount Sinai. Jesus sought communion with God, modeling a spiritual discipline we can also embrace.
Lent invites us to imitate Christ, creating space for God’s presence through fasting, prayer, and self-reflection. It’s not about deprivation, but transformation. Whether by setting aside distractions, deepening prayer practices, or engaging with scripture, this season offers an opportunity to receive a word from the Lord and reflect God’s presence in our lives.
What will you give up—or take on—this Lent? How might imitating Jesus’ journey bring you closer to God? Join us as we explore the invitation to walk in Christ’s footsteps and prepare ourselves to fully receive the joy of Easter.
