Lenten Devotionals The pivotal events in world history
is the birth of Jesus Christ; the central point for humans in history
is the resurrection from the dead of God's Son three days after His crucifixion.
This Lenten season, increase your understanding of the magnitude of Christ's
rising from the dead in either one or both of Lutheran Hour Ministries'
seasonal devotions. From the Mount of Transfiguration to Mount Calvary
- A Lenten Journey renders in a style familiar to long-time readers
the salient events in Christ's life inaugurated by His transfiguration
and accomplished by His atoning work on Calvary. Walking With Jesus
follows the Lord in a contemporary voice as He ministers to those around
Him, befriending and encouraging those who would follow Him and, all the
time displaying compassion for a sinful and renegade world. They are available
on tables in the entry way of the church and also in the cove near the
door to the school.
