As a guide through the Lenten season, we are reading Alicia Britt Chole's 40 Days Of Decreaseas a congregation and allowing it to inform the teaching each Sunday morning. 

Text:John 12:12-19

Takeaways:

• Instead of regretting who I was or wasn't, what do I need to start or stop right now?
• What regret do I need to fast?

Benediction:

May all that is unforgiven in you be released; may your fears yield their deep tranquilities; may all that is unlived in you blossom into a future graced with love.
