In this Lent midweek service, we reflect on one of the most important questions Jesus asks: "Who do you say that I am?" This question is at the heart of the church’s confession, shaping our faith and our witness to the world.

Drawing on the insights of theologian Hermann Sasse, we explore how this question has defined the history of the church—through martyrdoms, heresy trials, and moments of great faith. In contrast to the world's obsession with self-definition, Jesus calls us to confess who He is—the Christ, the Son of the Living God.

Pastor Scott's sermon explores the true meaning of repentance—rending our hearts, not just our clothing. He emphasizes that God desires sincere repentance, not just outward actions. Drawing from Joel, he explains how Lent helps us set aside time for reflection and renewal. True repentance includes both sorrow over sin and faith in God's forgiveness. Ultimately, Lent is not about rituals but about returning to the Lord, who is gracious and compassionate. Listen to be reminded of God's mercy and the power of sincere faith.

Pastor Scott's sermon on the Transfiguration highlights a key turning point in Jesus' ministry. God the Father declares, "This is my beloved Son... Listen to Him," emphasizing the shift from revealing who Jesus is to what He came to do—suffer, die, and rise again for our salvation. Through powerful symbolism and Peter's struggle to understand, we see the importance of trusting in Christ’s mission. Jesus calls us to listen, trust, and have no fear, knowing that through His death and resurrection, we are forgiven and made new.
