March 22, 2026 – Lent 5 – Come to the Water
Whether frozen or flowing, still or teeming with life, water is ever present in our world and fundamental to our survival. Perhaps that is why God so often acts through the power and properties of water. Join us this Lent for our sermon series "Come to the Water" as we explore some of the Bible's water stories to see God at work in the world through this most basic element. We'll also consider Lenten spiritual practices involving water that may draw us closer to God as we seek to see God's image in ourselves.
In our water series, we take a look at healing waters, specifically through Jesus’ healing of a man blind from birth. Making mud from his own saliva and the dirt on the ground, Jesus applies grace to this man’s eyes and then instructs him to wash in the pool of Siloam. His sight is restored, but a spiritual blindness of all those around him is revealed. We will explore healing and spiritual blindness and my own professional history (it all relates) together.
