Sermon Overview

Modern Worship @ 11:15 am in Fidelis Hall
Dr. Kevin Tully, Senior Pastor
This Sunday, as we begin our Lenten journey, we reflect on the powerful story of Jesus in the wilderness—a place of temptation, struggle, and clarity. Just as Jesus wrestled with scripture and his identity, we, too are called to examine our own beliefs and confront the temptations that shape our lives. Lent invites us not only to decide but to act—to face the hard truths and allow God to transform us from the inside out. Let’s take this time to go deeper into our faith, challenge old patterns, and truly live out the gospel.
Announcements
Our monthly workday at Waxahachie Care is on Tuesday, March 11th. Volunteers meet to sort donations at the food pantry at 9:30 a.m. at 1208 Ferris Ave, Waxahachie, TX 75165.
Dr. Tully to Lead Lenten Bible Study
Beginning on March 12, each Wednesday during Lent, Dr. Kevin Tully will lead a study on the life of the Apostle Paul. Paul was the author of more books of the Bible than any other person, and apart from Jesus has had more influence on Christian theology and practice than any other person.
The study will be offered twice each Wednesday: noon and 6 pm. Choose the time that fits your schedule, and come find out about the life, ministry, thoughts, adventures and challenges of this pivotal figure. Participants are welcome to switch between class times based upon which fits their needs. The study will be six weeks long, and ends on April 16, the Wednesday of Holy Week.
At First Kids, Spring Break is a time to pack in even more fun with your church friends! Check out these two opportunities to hang out and enjoy the break!
Please attend the congregation-wide “A Place for All Update” meeting on Sunday, March 16, at 10 am in the sanctuary. Sunday school is cancelled that day so all can attend. At this meeting, we’ll share progress, discuss the next steps, and share information on the projects’ funding and spending thus far. Everyone is strongly encouraged to attend!
