‘Create in me a clean heart O God: and renew a right spirit within me.’ Psalm 51:17

​May God our Creator, walk with us during this season of Lent. May we enter more deeply into the passion of Jesus and come to depend more completely on his Spirit, that we may live a life that shines with the light of the resurrected Christ. Amen.

​Some thoughts for discussion:
How can we as a church be a fragrance

1. Within the church family
2. Out in the ‘world’

Conversely – In what ways do we create a stench

1. Within the church family
2. Out in the ‘world’

Discuss ‘extravagance’  (definition: lack of restraint in spending money or using resources.)

1. In the world
2. In the church
3. In our own individual lives

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:17&18

May God our Creator, walk with us during this season of Lent. May we enter more deeply into the passion of Jesus and come to depend more completely on his Spirit, that we may live a life that shines with the light of the resurrected Christ. Amen.
