Sermon | "The Weight of a Heart of Stone" | March 22
from Holy Cross Lutheran Church · host holycrossjenison
Even after returning from exile, Israel’s deepest captivity remains: the hardened, unresponsive heart that cannot keep God’s covenant. The problem is no longer Babylon—it is within. Sin is not just what we do; it is what we are. Into this hopelessness, God announces the New Covenant—a promise to give His people a new heart, a new spirit, and forgiveness that will not be revoked. This promise leads directly into Holy Week, where Christ establishes the new covenant in His blood.
