2/22/26 "Come Die With Me" Our Contemporary Worship Service

Sunday, February 22, 2026 (First Sunday in Lent, Communion/GTK) Rev. Stuart Spencer preaching "Come Die With Me"  (Mark 8: 31-38) Way 22  Rest and Reflect In the season of Lent, Pastors Spencer and Allen preach a sermon series called, “The J-Curve: Dying and Living with Jesus.” The J-Curve concept comes from a study by Paul Miller. Here’s a summary: Inconveniences, disappointments, and trials often leave us confused, cynical, even bitter. The apostle Paul traces a pattern of dying and rising with Jesus which, like the letter “J”, goes down into death and then up into resurrection. Continually reenacting Jesus’ life—the J-Curve®—drains the energy from our cynicism as it resets our expectations for the normal Christian life. The J-Curve is so encouraging, so liberating, that once you see it, you can’t unsee it! You’ll find yourself joyfully dying and rising with Jesus in everyday life.” Memory Verse: “If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Gospel, you will save it.” (Mark 8: 35, NLT) Your Stewardship Team encourages you to prayerfully commit to giving through our online portal, the Church Center app on your smart phone, by sending a check or stock donation to the church and by considering a legacy gift.
