“The Church is not a group of people who believe all the same things; the Church is a group of people caught up in the same story, with Jesus at the center."
Lent 2026 Series: Coming Back to Life
Mar 1, 2026 - 2nd Sunday in Lent: Life Beyond Fear
Texts: John 3:1-17; Genesis 12:1-4
Lent is a season of coming back to life. It is a time for releasing the things that keep us from living fully and rediscovering the grace that restores us. Last week we named how shame pulls us into hiding and how God brings us back into the light. This week we turn toward another powerful force that shapes our lives: fear. Where does fear keep us small, cautious, or stuck? And what might it look like to step into life beyond fear?
Through the nighttime questions of Nicodemus and the courageous journey of Abram, we will explore what it means to trust the quiet prompting of God’s Spirit even when the path ahead is uncertain. This service will offer space for reflection, encouragement, and hope as we consider how God is inviting each of us to begin again. Living new life… not without fear, but beyond it. Join us as we continue this Lenten journey back to life together.
There is no video service available for this week's service. If you'd like a manuscript of the sermon and a copy of the bulletin, please email contactMUMC@gmail.com.
