Lent is a season of repentance and lament. Christians convince

In this reading the Devil is personified and speaks clearly in Human language.
The temptations of Jesus talk
clearly about satisfying hunger, using power to influence, keeping safe

Epiphany is a good time to identify gifts and ministries we might share together
What is revealed – who is this Jesus?
This story tells of God’s abundant Love embracing all human beings.
God fills the expectation far in abundant to the expected – “Grace upon grace”.
With all the Christmas Celebrations we can loose sight of Jesus.
Our minds and faith are easily led away from Christ. Domestic violence increases, along with suicides.
Easy to waste time seeking in the wrong places for the peace Christ came to bring – Christ is available for all today.
