Covenant: (A Lenten Sermon Series)

This series will seek to explore the difference between a covenant and a contract. The latter is based on distrust as opposed to the former. In this first sermon of the series, we will think together about the promise of God after the great flood. Is there a role we can play in ensuring God will ‘never again destroy the earth?’

 

 

“Covenant: A Lenten Sermon Series”  Part 1: “Flood Waters”

Genesis 9: 8-17 (NRSV)

This is the 1st Sunday in Lent. Over this and the neat few Sunday’s, we hope you enjoy this Lenten Series. For this virtual service,please bring a bowl of water to the sacred space to fully experience and enjoythis worship service. As this is the First Sunday in Lent. The bowl will need to be large enough to dip your hand into for a moment. You may also want to have a small towel nearby, but that is not critical.

Covenant: (A Lenten Sermon Series) Part 2: Drawn to Barrenness
Reading Genesis 17.1-7,15- 16

In Part 2 of our Lenten Covenant series, we will think together about how God was drawn to the faithfulness of Abraham and Sarah but also to their barrenness. What is empty in us that God needs to fill? 


Covenant: (A Lenten Sermon Series) Part 3: Covenants and Contracts
Reading Exodus 20.1-17

What does God do with our inability to keep up our end the contract? He makes a covenant. A contract is governed by the rules of bargaining. A covenant
is governed by the irrational but eternal love of God. It is a deep, soul-level connection and commitment that cannot bebroken. No matter what. And so, it that God covenants with
us.
