The Second Sunday in Lent Service & Sermon at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church

Midweek Lent Service on Wednesday at 7:00

Join us for our midweek Lenten service on Wednesday, February 28 at 7 PM as we consider the theme, “God has Chosen You.” We will study Paul’s preaching in 1 Thessalonians as we use the reflective service of Compline, so fitting for the season of Lent. Private Confession & Absolution will take place in the pastor’s study on Wednesday, March 6, 20, and 27 from 6:00 – 6:45 PM.

The Second Sunday in Lent Service at Mount Calvary

In ancient times this Sunday was called “Remember Sunday.” This title comes from Psalm 25:6, a cry of distress where we pray, “Remember your mercy, O LORD!” We cling to God’s promises, even when it seems that He is not for us, but against us. Both in the Old Testament lesson of Jacob wrestling with God, and also in the Gospel of the Canaanite woman who tries to get Jesus to hear her pleas, we learn that we must cling to God’s promises and believe in them, even when it appears that He does not listen. Great faith clings to the Lord, never lets go, and prevails.
