In this sermon, Chris explores the themes of Lent and the transformative journey of following Jesus, particularly during His last week. He emphasizes the significance of surrender and self-sacrifice, contrasting true peace ("shalom") with the mere absence of conflict. By encouraging deep engagement with Jesus' narrative, Chris invites listeners to reflect on their own journeys of faith, power, and community, ultimately promoting a fuller expression of love and commitment to just living in alignment with Jesus' teachings.
