Let Go of the Lies
Lent is a season of reflection, turning toward God, and renewal—a time when many believers choose to give up distractions or comforts to encounter God more fully. But what if the greatest barriers to knowing God’s power and presence aren’t external things we can set aside, but the lies we’ve embraced in our hearts and minds?
In this Lenten sermon series, "Let Go of the Lies," we will confront the falsehoods that distort our understanding of God, ourselves, and the world around us. Each week, we’ll examine a different lie that keeps us from experiencing the life God has for us. Together, we’ll look to Scripture to expose these untruths, discover the transformative truth of God’s Word, and take intentional steps to let go of what hinders us from drawing near to Christ. As we journey through this season of self-denial and spiritual growth, we’ll learn how letting go of these lies doesn’t just free us—it allows us to receive more fully the grace, power, and presence of God in our lives. Let this Lent be a time not just of giving something up, but of giving ourselves over to the truth that sets us free.
