I’m centering my preaching this month before the beginning of Lent on the stories about the beginning of the ministry of Jesus. It seems good to walk along with Jesus as he preaches and calls followers and heals.

I’m finding, however, that when we walk along with Jesus, he usually takes us someplace unexpected, maybe even someplace we’d rather not go. So it is that this morning we find ourselves confronted with failure and sin—and not just the failure and sin of others, but our own as well!

We are familiar with failure.

The stories in the Bible, on the other hand, often have a strange, unfamiliar quality about them. They often tell of things we haven’t experienced, of things we don’t understand.

Scripture Lessons: Isaiah 6:1-8; Luke 5:1-11

Sermon: “Beyond Failure, Beyond Forgiveness”

The Rev. Bill Lovin preaching
