Sermon Introduction –
This Sunday, we will be diving deep and learning about worship. For the past two weeks, we’ve asked folks to submit questions about Sunday mornings. Why do we decorate the church in purple for Lent? Where do the Bible readings come from? What does the word “kyrie” mean? Join us to get answers to these questions and more!
Introduction to this week’s readings –
The second covenant in this year’s Lenten readings is the one made with Abraham and Sarah: God’s promise to make them the ancestors of many, with whom God will remain in everlasting covenant. Paul says this promise comes to all who share Abraham’s faith in the God who brings life into being where there was no life. We receive this baptismal promise of resurrection life in faith. Sarah and Abraham receive new names as a sign of the covenant, and we too get new identities in baptism, as we put on Christ.
