The Meaning and Importance of the Season of Lent
The journey through Lent prepares Christians to fully experience the joy of Easter, celebrating the triumph of Jesus over sin and death.
Don’t Leave Your Joy Outside the Door
The season of Lent is not always a season of joy, and we can often dissect joy from this time of reflection. Our problem is that our joy is most often tied to our circumstances. Despite the suffering He endured, Jesus’ joy remained constant.

As we sit with the brokenness, death, and suffering we see around us, we can learn from Jesus who took our mourning seriously.
