Ruts - the Slow and Narrow Road

As we hear the Lenten call of self-examination and change, one of the greatest challenges we face are the ruts in which we find ourselves. In the scripture story this week from Mark, the Pharisees were in a rut in how they understood the law. Jesus' actions called into question their interpretation of scripture, changing the understanding of what it meant to keep the Sabbath holy. Lent reminds us that sometimes we need to be ready to revisit and change unexamined assumptions in our lives or even those beliefs and understandings of scripture that we might hold dear. What beliefs have become ruts for you and what needs to be changed to get off that slow and narrow road?

Join us Sunday as we examine ruts and how they limit us from enjoying the abundant life Jesus longs for us to live. Do someone a favor and invite them to join you. It's the first Sunday in March and we're celebrating birthdays and anniversaries so March babies, be sure to come get your blessing and enjoy some cake and ice-cream after lunch.
