Lenten Worship Series

This year for Lent we will be focusing on the life and faith of one of Jesus’ most famous disciples.  In Peter, we see a person who is both steadfast and unsteady, a dear friend and a betrayer, a follower and a wanderer.  In Peter, we often see ourselves.  By following Peter’s journey, we watch the story of Jesus unfold through the eyes of a very normal human trying to figure it all out – just like us.

Like many of us, Peter has a wandering heart.  His journey is not polished, or linear, or perfect, but he is always tethered to the love of God.  When you look closely at Peter’s Story, you find Jesus at each step along the way – offering him abundance, catching him when he begins to sink, challenging him when he stands in the way, washing his feet, predicting his betrayal, and offering him agape love.  This Lent, we’re joining Peter in figuring out faith.  We’re not idolizing or vilifying him; instead, we’re hoping to wander alongside him, open to what we might learn about Jesus (and ourselves) by stepping in his shoes.
