This Ash Wednesday, we begin the season of Lent with an invitation to rethink everything we thought we knew about God, ourselves, and the world, as we explore the transformational meaning of repentance. 
The story of Saul's conversion in Acts 9 serves as a compelling illustration of how crisis moments can lead to profound transformation. We're challenged to see our own crises not as obstacles, but as opportunities for growth and change. The message emphasizes three key elements of transformation: confrontation, darkness, and conversion. By embracing these elements, we open ourselves to God's work in our lives, allowing Him to reshape our understanding and redirect our paths. This teaching encourages us to be honest about our struggles, to let go of our certainties, and to trust in God's ability to transform even the most unlikely candidates for His kingdom.

On this first Sunday of Lent,  Luke Parker helps us dive into the message of Luke 5:27-32, challenging us to rethink our understanding of repentance and God's grace. The story of Jesus calling Levi, a despised tax collector, reminds us that Christ came for the sick, not the righteous. We're confronted with the uncomfortable truth that it's often the 'good' people who struggle most to accept God's radical love. This message invites us to examine our own hearts: Are we clinging to our righteousness, or are we willing to admit our brokenness and need for Jesus? The parallels drawn between ancient tax collectors and our modern tendency to label and judge others are particularly convicting. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to see people as Jesus does - not through societal labels, but as individuals in need of God's transformative love. This teaching urges us to embrace true repentance, not as a prerequisite for God's grace, but as our response to His already-offered love.
