Today’s Service
Today we read a passage from the Chapter of Mark, where Jesus heals a man with Leprosy, but the man does not do what Jesus asks of him.
This passage is really an invitation to honesty. We live in a time when we expect things to go well for us. Sometimes, we need to remember that life is not going to be perfect.
It's ok to tell God you are disappointed. It's ok to make mistakes. God is a God of chances, and He can still do more through you than you can imagine.
"We can't really muck up what God wants to do" Jo Robertson.
Mark 1:40-45
Psalm 13

This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, where we start lent. Lent is a very old tradition of going without something in the lead up to Easter, to reflect Jesus’ sacrifice.
