Rev. Joan Pell is the preacher for this online worship service for the first Sunday in Lent as we hear about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness. This is the first sermon in the series Rising to the Call: 7 Big Questions as we ask the first big question How do you resist the easy option? These questions can all be applied to our discipleship in general and to issues of justice and especially climate justice. Scripture: Luke 4:1-13. Hymns from Singing the Faith are numbers 395, 237 and 660. Video and audio available.

To go along with this sermon series, we have a Circuit Lent Study Rising to the Call. You can find more details about the study and download it here:
