Let's Be Honest...Temptation is Real!

Preacher: Rev. Dr. Donna Claycomb Sokol Scripture: Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7 & Matthew 4:1-11 While we often pretend to have it all together, Lent calls us to name what hides behind the mask and to tell the truth about what is really happening in our hearts, minds, and lives. Our Lenten worship series, “Let’s Be Honest,” dares us to face the truths we often avoid but desperately need to admit. We need cleaner hearts. Temptation is real. We are thirsty for more than this world can give. Faith is hard when we cannot see clearly. We long for someone to save us. We struggle with the cross. And we need resurrection to be real. This journey does not demand certainty; it invites honesty. It does not require perfection; it offers grace. Come with your questions, your doubts, and your hope. Let’s be honest—and trust that God is already at work in our complicated, messy, and hopeful selves.
