Acts 9:32-43 - "Hope Restored" & Lent week 1 - Joel 2:12-13

This week on Rooted in the Word, we dive into Acts 9:32-43 with our sermon, "Hope Restored." In this passage, we witness the power of Jesus at work through Peter, bringing healing and even raising the dead—reminding us that no situation is beyond the reach of Christ’s restoration.We also begin our Lent journey, reflecting on Joel 2:12-13 and the call to true repentance:"Yet even now," declares the Lord, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; and rend your hearts and not your garments." Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love." (ESV)Lent is a season of turning back to God, not just in outward actions, but from the depths of our hearts. Join us as we explore what it means to walk in true repentance and renewed hope.
