Series Guide
Overview
This seven-week series explores what it means to follow Jesus, over the course of Ash Wednesday and the six Sundays of Lent. We use the language of “following Jesus” frequently in the church, but we rarely examine what it means to follow him and what causes us to go our own way instead. This Lenten series calls us to examine the ways we have fallen out of step with Christ and invites us to return to following him in sacrifice, self-denial, and the hope of glory.
