This sermon is based on Joel 2. 1-2, 12-17 and Matthew 6. 1-6, 16-21.
Well here we are, Ash Wednesday, the cusp of Lent. It seems like only a few days ago we were celebrating Christmas and yet here we are, beginning our journey to Easter.
Lent, despite what it’s become in the wider mindset, isn’t New Years mk 2, another chance to have a stab at cutting down on chocolate (a resolution which you managed to break at approximately 2pm on January 1st). Lent goes much deeper than that, it’s an annual Shofar call to return to God, to come back when we have wandered off.
