During Lenten Messages We Will Follow the Footsteps of Jesus

Posted on March 13, 2014

book the wayLent helps us fix our thoughts on Jesus

As the calendar moves toward Easter each year, our minds automatically focus again on Jesus.  We cannot help but think more about his life, his last days, his untimely death and his resurrection.   This is even truer this year with the popularity of the new film, “Son of God.” 

New Lenten and Easter series announced

It’s natural then that our plans for the message series during Lent and Easter center on the life of Jesus.  As I announced in church, I am using Pastor Adam Hamilton’s book, The Way: Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus as a resource for several of the sermons during the first half of the series.  Rev. Hamilton, a Methodist pastor from Kansas, has traveled in the Holy Land and each chapter relates to a geographical area as well as a subject.   The messages will be my own development and writings, but several of the topics will parallel the book and draw some ideas from it.   Rather than wait until I have finished the entire plan, I decided to post the first half of the series now and the rest as soon as I finish the plans.  Here are the first six titles for the series, “The Footsteps of Jesus.”   There will be five more messages in the series including Maundy Thursday, eventually extending it through Communion Sunday May 4.
