First Sunday of Lent
Live Zoom/Virtual Worship
10AM
On Ash Wednesday the church began its journey toward baptismal immersion in the death and resurrection of Christ. This year, the Sundays in Lent lead us to focus on five covenants God makes in the Hebrew Scriptures and to use them as lenses through which to view baptism. First Peter connects the way God saved Noah’s family in the flood with the way God saves us through the water of baptism. The baptismal covenant is made with us individually, but the new life we are given in baptism is for the sake of the whole world.
Reading
Genesis 9:8-17
The rainbow, sign of God’s covenant
Mark 1:9-15
The temptation of Jesus in the wilderness for forty days
Worship is at the heart of what we do at Redeemer.
