We live in a shallow world with quick answers, constant motion, and noise both inside and out. Lent calls us deeper--beneath distraction, beneath habit, beneath self. In the Old Testament, God often led His people into deep work confronting what was broken, healing what was hidden, and shaping His people for wholeness. This Lent, we enter that same journey and allow God to go beneath our surface to connect us more to our Divine Design.

On this final Sunday of Lent before we celebrate Easter, Pastor Karla takes us through one of the most amazing stories in not only the Old Testament, but the entire Bible. A story of hope, redemption, and resurrection. She t points out that the God who works in the depths also brings new life from them. The deep work of Lent leads not to despair, but to hope for new life.

On this fifth Sunday of Lent, Dr. Max Butterfield encourages us in a call of faithfulness. He discusses how a life of loving God and serving others sometimes has seasons in which we feel abandoned and broken. But God's deepest work often feels like breaking, but it's the breaking that makes us whole and results in multiplication.

During this fourth Sunday of Lent, we are now at a time 480 years after the Exodus event to the building of the Temple. It was a promise David made to God, and it was fulfilled by Solomon. At this dedication Solomon has a prayer, a moment in which he realizes the berevity of what they are doing in building this Temple, and we see what happens when the people (we) take our eyes of God as the center of our worship and our lives. This week, Pastor Karla discusses how deep work reorders our hearts so that God's presence is once again at the center.

Healing happens when we face our pain, not when we run from it. Deep work means confronting what hurts and letting God's mercy transform it.

During this third Sunday of Lent, Pastor Karla tells a strange story found in the Book of Numbers, but the implictions of it on our lives are eternal and life-changing. Jesus refers to this story in the desert wanderings to tell about himself and what his work on the cross means. We find that healing happens when we face our pain, not when we run from it. Deep work means confronting what hurts and letting God's mercy transform it.

We come to this second Sunday of Lent at a familiar story, but one that dones't seem to relate to us, unless you've done some thing really bad. It's the story of David and his sin with Bathsheba. This week, we learn that transformation begins with honesty--allowing God's truth to expose what we hide. It is deep work to face ourselves in light of God's truth.

We come to this first Sunday of Lent returning to where we first met God. Pastor Karla asks us to remember our Bethel, and asks what hashappened since? What cultural clutter has accumulated? What sin has built up in our lives? She then invites us to clear away what has accumulated which allows us to hear from God again.

We begin the Lent Season with a special Ash Wednesday Sermon. Pastor Karla leads us into the Lenten Season by asking us to examine in ourselves the feelings that are similar to those found in the writier of Psalm 42. Why are you downcast oh my soul? At the depths is the feeling of being overwhelmed. Yet, whatever the depths of God, is the appeal to the corresponding depths in us.

We are back with a new podcast series to compliment our Sunday sermon teaching, Earthwise: God's Call to Care for Creation. We are inviting professionals from our community to share from their experience and explore how environmental stewardship is an act of justice, discipleship, and hope in Christ.

For our final installation of this podcast series, R.O. Smith sits down with Rangeland Ecologist and Environmental Entrepreneuer, Lisa VanAmburg to discuss a new movement called "upcycling", the life cycle of plastic and its effects on our environment, and practical changes we can make in our every day lives to care for God's world better. Lisa's momtto is to "live simply, so others can simply live."
