She poured out the perfume.
All of it.

Some called it waste.
Jesus called it love.

Lent invites us to ask:
Where am I holding back?
Where could I be more generous -
with my love, my presence, my attention?

This week, make space for wholehearted love.
Not careful.
Not efficient.
Just real.

"Give to God what is God's."

The crowd heard it.
But the question lingered:

What actually belongs to God?

Your time.
Your attention.
Your heart.
Your life.

Lent is a season for re-alignment.

This week, make space to ask:
What have I been giving my life to?
And what matters more?

Lent isn't meant to be a solo journey.

This season, consider trying a small group or class - a place for conversation, connection, and growth.

Check out Sunday's Message: The Temple: Risking Righteous Anger

Jesus’ response to a visit to the Temple in the mist of this busy, noisy Passover “tourist season” is utter frustration turned to anger. With so much at stake, “business-as-usual” seems obscene. This can be true for us today. The banality of our everyday lives sometimes seems ludicrous in ...

Jesus walked into the temple
and turned over tables.

Because sometimes
"business as usual"
gets in the way of what God cares about.

Lent invites us to ask:
What needs to change in my life?
What needs to change in our world?
Where have I gotten comfortable with what isn't right?

This week, make space for what matters more than comfort.
Make space for holy disruption.

Sometimes following Jesus looks like celebration.
Sometimes it looks like risk.

The crowds shouted "Hosanna."
But everyone knew -
this parade could have consequences.

Lent invites us to ask:
Where am I holding back?
Where is God inviting me to step forward?

This week, make space for courage.
Make space to live your faith where it actually matters.

You might be surprised what begins when you do.
