Preparing for Lent

Kenny Benge preached a sermon entitled “Preparing for Lent” on March 5, 2011. Lent is about embracing a downward movement of the soul.  Lent is a shift in accent. We never lose sight of the Gospel, but in the journey of Lent, we acknowledge our human and spiritual weakness, and we turn away from our sins and temptations and toward God and His great mercy, embracing a lifestyle of repentance.
