Take A Single Step Towards God — "Return" Lenten Sermon Series #1 | Pastor Georgia Hill @ LifeChurch Riverside Detroit

Lent is not a season of punishment; it is a season of invitation. As we begin our forty-day journey, Pastor Georgia Hill explores what it means to truly "Return" to the heart of God. Before we can repent, rest, or witness, we must first hear the whisper of the Father calling us back from the places where we have wandered. Today marks the beginning of a realignment—a turning back to the Source of our life, our purpose, and our peace.A WORD FROM PASTOR GEORGIA"Returning to God isn't about how far you have traveled away; it's about the single step you take back toward Him today. Lent is the space God gives us to rend our hearts, not just our garments, and realize that the Father has been waiting for us all along."KEY SCRIPTURE📖 Joel 2:12-13 "Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning. Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate..."📖 Matthew 4:1 "Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness..."RESOURCES & NEXT STEPS✨ New Here? We’d love to meet you!
