S7E23: Preparation (A Journey Through Lent pt. 1)

Sermon #212

In this season of Lent (2020), I would like to present to you some of my unpublished sermons from years gone by. And since this year I am preaching through the Psalms during Lent in a series called "Selah - Life in a Minor Key," I want to go back to 2017 when I preached through a series of Psalms using Tim Keller's book, "A Journey Through Lent," which our Ministerium was also presenting as a Wednesday night Bible study. As with other sermons that I appropriated using other peoples' format, I made the series my own and preached from the Psalm of the week guided by the Holy Spirit and what He was showing me. So to kick off this series, which will be presented in parallel with our current series, we are going back to March 1, 2017, which was Ash Wednesday, and we are beginning with "Preparation." We prepare for renewal. We prepare for relationship. We prepare for resurrection.
