On the first Sunday of Lent, Thomas Bergen spoke on conformity to the message of the cross. The hymn of Cruciformity in Philippians 2:5-11 sets out the pattern that we need to understand God's power, love, faith and hope. Across the Apostle Paul's letters to the Corinthians, Galatians, and Romans, we heard many Bible verses explain that Christ's costly obedience – even to death on a cross – is a model for us on how to humbly show love and have hope. May we live by the faith of/in the Son of God, who loved us by giving himself for us (Gal. 2:19-20). [KH]
