For 40 days leading up to Easter, Renew Church is going to participate in a "season of surrender." Jesus once said "if you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it." Over 8 weeks, we'll uncover exactly what Jesus meant by examining his teaching and the example he lived out that took him to the cross. Alongside our series, we'll also participate in some new twists on popular Lent traditions and spiritual disciplines including Lenten sacrifice, online daily devotions, virtual prayer meetings and more! Check out the videos below for more details, and download our calendar and reading plan:

2 Things to Be Sure Of
2 Peter 1:1-21 emphasizes two things that believers can be sure of. Firstly, believers can be sure of their salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, who has given them everything they need for a godly life. Secondly, believers can be sure of the reliability and truth of the scriptures, which are inspired by God and provide guidance and direction for believers. Peter urges believers to continually grow in their faith and knowledge of Jesus Christ, through practicing virtues such as goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. By doing so, believers can be assured of their calling and election as children of God, and will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Scripture References: 2 Peter 1:1-21, Matthew 5:18-8
