Fifth Sunday in Lent

Jesus said, "Put your sword back where it belongs. All who use swords are destroyed by swords." (Matthew 26:52)

Our Lenten Bible study on the theme of forgiveness concludes on Monday at 7pm Eastern via Zoom. All are welcome. Here's a preview of that session: 


Forgiveness at the Cross

Theme: The cost and power of forgiveness
Core Scriptures:

Focus: Forgiveness reaches its fullest meaning at the cross—where sin is neither ignored nor excused, but borne.


Key Questions:

  • What does Jesus’ prayer from the cross teach us about forgiveness?

  • How does the cross redefine justice and mercy?

  • How are we sent out as forgiven people?

Lenten posture: Gratitude and transformation
