Third Sunday in Lent - CDavid Kalas
The charming and familiar song from “The Sound of Music” recognizes that reading begins with A-B-C and that singing begins with Do-Re-Mi. Such are the foundational elements of reading and singing. But what about being saved? Where does the gospel begin?
I believe that the gospel begins with grace. If not for the loving initiative of God, there would be no salvation, and so there would...Emphasis Preaching Journal

John Calvin powerfully noted the misery in which we find ourselves:
Those who are puffed up with vain confidence and satiated, or who, intoxicated by earthly appetites, do not feel thirst of the soul, will not receive Christ. (Calvin’s Commentaries, Vol.VIII/2, p.156)
But Calvin also makes clear that God is still in...StoryShare
Third Sunday in Lent - CJohn E. Sumwalt
Incline your ear, and come to me;
listen, so that you may live…
Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near… (vv. 3a, 6)
Assurance or re-assurance is what we long for when we are hurting, when we are afraid, when we have failed at something, or when we are grieving some painful loss. We...The Village Shepherd
Third Sunday in Lent - CJanice B. Scott
Call to worship:
Jesus faced plenty of trouble in his life. He didn't flinch from trouble or try to avoid it, but asked God's help in handling it. In our worship today, let us explore how Jesus handled trouble.
Invitation to confession:
Jesus, sometimes we are so afraid of trouble that we tell lies in order to avoid it.
Lord, have...SermonStudio
Third Sunday in Lent - CJames Evans
Psalm 63 is particularly well-suited for helping Christians take stock of their commitment. Oftentimes, as we take a long, inward look, we become aware that we have lost or laid aside some of our passion for God. This does not necessarily mean we have left the church. There are many who sit in the pews week after week, visibly faithful and plugged in, who are nevertheless spiritually fatigued....SermonStudio
Third Sunday in Lent - CSteven E. Albertin
"Students, it is time to get out your pencils, close your books and remove any notes from your desks. The test is about to begin."
Those are words that make us shudder, our hearts start to pound and the palms of our hands begin to sweat. From our earliest days in school, we all have had to learn to deal with tests. It may begin with a simple first grade spelling test. But it doesn't...SermonStudio
Third Sunday in Lent - CJohn N. Brittain
I know that they didn't have CNN or Walkmen back in Jesus' day, but if they had, they would have been listening to the World Report in today's Gospel Lesson. The topic is current events and things surely haven't changed much in 2,000 years because the headline stories are bad news: the imperial troops senselessly murder a few peasants; a tower collapses and kills eighteen. "What do you think...SermonStudio
Third Sunday in Lent - CCarlyle Fielding Stewart, III
Isaiah issues a four-part injunction to the people of Judah to return to God, to renounce their iniquities, and to reaffirm the promises of the Davidic Covenant: come (55:1), listen (55:2), seek, and call on God while he is near and can be found (55:6). This plea is pertinent to Christians during this season of Lent, a season of exile and return, renewal and restoration, affliction and comfort,...
