Tell Me Something Good

Lent 2026 Sermon Series

Lent is a season of spiritual reflection and preparation leading up to Resurrection Sunday. Rooted in church tradition, it spans 40 days, beginning on Ash Wednesday and ending on Good Friday. Think of it as a time of spiritual spring cleaning—an opportunity to clear out distractions and refocus on God.

To help us in this process, we engage in the spiritual practices of prayer, fasting, and generosity. These practices cultivate humility, repentance, and renewal. Fasting, in particular, holds a central place during Lent, as it strips away distractions that can cloud our life with God. By abstaining from comfort, we, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, uncover deeper areas of our hearts—places we often ignore or suppress—allowing us to confront what pulls us away from trusting God, loving our neighbor, and embracing our true identity in Christ.

Through fasting, generosity, and prayer, we seek renewal and breakthrough, realigning ourselves with who we were created to be in God.
