This three-week Lenten series reflects on the ways God restores and renews our lives. Using familiar experiences of fixing things that have fallen into disrepair, the series explores how faith invites us into a process of honest self-examination, surrender to God’s healing work, and renewed purpose in the world. In the first message, Admitting the Crack, we reflect on Psalm 139 and the courage it takes to invite God to search our hearts. In the second message, Letting the Master Work, we consider how true restoration often requires placing what is broken in the hands of someone who knows how to repair it. The final message, Repaired for a Reason, reflects on how God’s restoration leads us outward to participate in God’s work of healing relationships and communities.
