LENT SERMON SERIES: Jesus in High-Resolution

This Lent, we begin a journey to see Jesus more clearly — not through the blur of culture or the haze of assumption, but through the lens of Scripture.

Through this series, we are invited to walk through the Gospel of Luke and rediscover who Jesus really is. Luke gives us a Savior who shines light on those in darkness, opens blind eyes, confronts hypocrisy, and heals distorted visions of God. As we allow God’s word to sharpen our vision, we’ll discover that clarity begins with humility and ends in transformation.

Throughout these forty days, we’ll explore moments when Jesus reveals who he truly is and helps us see what we’ve missed along the way. Lent becomes a season not of gloom, but of growing clarity where our eyes adjust to the brightness of grace and our hearts are reshaped by the One who still opens eyes today.

How to Engage:

• Worship Weekly — Each message builds on the one before, helping us move from seeing ourselves honestly to seeing Christ clearly. Prepare for worship by following our weekly blog.
• Read Daily — Follow the Gospel of Luke reading plan throughout Lent.
• Join a Group — Sunday School classes and small groups through the week will use companion curriculum to go deeper in study and reflection. Find a group HERE.
