Welcomes in Jesus - Sanctifying: Ash Wednesday
the Church Podcast
Focus: God calls all sinners to repent, and give our hearts to Him. Like the Prodigal’s father eagerly looking and waiting for his son’s return, He invites, calls, and gathers us back. He is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love, eager to relent and not punish. We begin Lent with this call to repentance, being set apart as His special possession, looking forward to His deliverance. Joel 2:12-19

Welcomes in Jesus - Sanctifying: Dedication
the Church Podcast
Focus: Without integrity, declarations become empty talk. Disciples of Jesus intentionally “walk the walk” in their homes (and outside), and dedicate their Household WELLs to the LORD. Knowing they fail, disciples are ready to ask for forgiveness and quick to forgive. They rely on Jesus for forgiveness and restoration, and upon His Spirit for the strength to persevere. Psalm 101:2
