Sermons from Church of the Incarnation, Dallas

Lent is not a self-improvement plan.

In a culture that constantly tells us to become the “best version of ourselves,” Scripture zooms out to reveal something far larger. Romans reminds us that sin and death are not merely mistakes we make — they are powers that have gripped the world. We are not only their captives, but often their accomplices.

But the story does not end there.

Jesus does not come to make us slightly better. He comes to set us free. Entering into the territory held by sin and death, Christ overthrows their dominion through the cross and the empty tomb. What we demand is a miracle — and in Christ, that miracle has come.
Lent is about seeing again what God has done to reclaim the world He made.

📖 Scripture: Romans 5; Matthew 4:1–11
