Lent Worship Series - Lent in Plain Sight

Reflecting on how God's grace becomes tangible

through ordinary objects in our lives.


Sermon: Lent in Plain Sight: Coats

Scripture: Luke 19:28b-40

God often works through the ordinary: ordinary people, ordinary objects, ordinary grace. It is through the mundane that we hear God’s invitation to grow in faith and service. This Lent, guided by the book, Lent in Plain Sight by Jill Duffield, we will focus on ten ordinary objects that Jesus would have encountered on his way to Jerusalem (dust, bread, the cross, coins, shoes, oil, coats, towels, thorns, and stones*) and listen for the lessons that God offers to us through them.
