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:
Pastor Bartley Sawatsky - January 8, 2023
A Song of Praise for Our Living Hope
In this first week in the series, Pastor Bartley Sawatsky takes us into 1 Peter 1:1-2, when the apostle Peter writes to scattered Christian believers, reminding them of the hope they have in Jesus and encouraging them to live holy lives marked by sincere love for one another. He also reminds them that their faith has been tested through trials, which serve to refine and make it more precious. Finally, he urges them to be obedient and have clear consciences in order to honour God.
Scripture References: 1 Peter 1:1-12, Genesis 6:5, Matthew 24:37, 2 Timothy 3:1-5, 1 Peter 5:10-12
