Drink from the Fountain of Grace
Series Overview
Throughout Scripture and today, God sustains God’s people in the most basic of human ways – physically, with food and drink, and spiritually – with food and drink for our souls. This Lent, as we remember what it means to be human, we find refreshment from God’s fountain of grace. The different images of cups shown in Scripture will serve as a touchpoint for exploring aspects of our relationship with God. What does our brokenness say about us? What does discipleship look like? What does it mean to seek justice? This exploration culminates in the most exciting celebration of all – that Jesus is risen for us and we have new life in him! Designed for Lent 2022.

When things break, God can and will bring purpose and beauty out of the brokenness.

Week 6 Option 1: From Empty to Overflowing (Palm/Passion Sunday) |
John 12:12-19, Psalm 22, Psalm 23
Our cup overflows because Jesus emptied his cup.
Note: This is a creative service that is designed to move from “Palms” to “Passion” through three mini-sermons on John 12:12-19 (Palms), Psalm 22 (Passion), and Psalm 23 (Hope).
Week 6 Option 2: The Overflowing Cup | Psalm 23
We cannot overflow with God’s grace if we are filled with ourselves.
