“For Us”
March Midweek Lenten Worship Overview
During the season of Lent, we will once again slow down, listen, and reflect on what God has done—and continues to do—for us. This year’s midweek Lenten series centers on that simple yet profound confession of faith: “For Us.” God’s very character—His nature—is self-giving love, and everything Jesus does, He does for us.
In Midweek of Lent 2 on 3/4/26, we will hear how Jesus enters the waters of Baptism, fasts in the wilderness, and endures temptation (Mark 1:9–13). He will do all of this not for His own sake, but for ours—beginning His work of undoing the power of the devil. Because Jesus will have suffered when tempted, He will be able to help those who are being tempted (Hebrews2:18). His love will not stop at sympathy but will extend all the way into suffering and even into the grave.
In Midweek of Lent 3 on 3/11/26, our attention will turn to Jesus as the One who seeks us. He will not wait passively for us to find the strength to come to Him. Instead, He will come to us—praying, teaching, working, and forgiving. Through very ordinary means—water, bread and wine, and the folly of preaching—Jesus will continue His ministry among us, strengthening and helping us with forgiveness and grace.
Midweek of Lent 4 on 3/18/26 will address the darker side of the spiritual story. We will consider demons—fallen angels who rebelled against God’s self-giving love and who continue to undermine His work. In our sermon, we will hear how Jesus heals a man possessed by a demon(Mark 5:1–13) and how that same healing work will continue among us today.
In Midweek of Lent 5 on 3/25/26, we will draw closer to our Lord’s Passion. Jesus will foretell His betrayal, suffering, death, and resurrection (Mark 8:31–9:1), showing us that the way of salvation comes only through suffering (Hebrews 2:10). His Passion will not simply mean that He sympathizes with us; it will mean that He participates in our suffering—and invites us to share in His. His betrayal, the crown of thorns, the cross, and His dying breath will all be for us.
We invite you to join us each Wednesday in Lent for worship at 12:30 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. A Soup Supper will be served at 5:15 p.m., offering a time of fellowship and simple nourishment between services. Come, be fed by God’s Word, and be reminded again that everything Jesus does—He does for you.
