This is the first week of our Lent series, Servant Song: Christ & The Cross Before He Was Born.
The Lord is bringing about a new thing in the form of His Servant. He is the one who will bring justice and peace and the will of the Lord. God gives the Servant as a light and covenant to the nations, even beyond Israel, challenging the notion of who God is for. This is the only hope for a truly just world.
Readings from this service:
Isaiah 42: 1-9
Psalm 43
Matthew 12: 15-21
