ROCKPOINTE CHURCH

LENT

WHAT:

Lent is the season leading up to Easter, when Christians imitate Jesus’ withdrawal to the wilderness. Christ was deprived of food, water and the daily comforts of life. Yet during this time of testing, Jesus was able to find strength in His Father. (Matt 4:1-11)

WHEN:

Lent is the period of time prior to Easter. This year RockPointe will begin on Monday, February 19 and end on Sunday, March 31.

WHY:

We fast, or give up something we enjoy-that consumes time or distracts us from God-in order to grow in our personal relationship with Christ. RockPointe encourages you to consider what you may fast from as a sacrifice to your flesh, in order to feed the spirit. Seek the Lord as to what you might give up in order to focus more time on Him in prayer, reading the Bible, devotion and/or serving/giving to a mission or charity.

LENT DAILY DEVOTIONALS

Death Has Been Conquered

By Jay Hough • March 14, 2024

On the first day of the week, early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

Triumph Despite Trouble

By Jay Hough • March 13, 2024

My wife and I are currently expecting our first child. As of now, we have about 5 months until our daughter is born.

Trusting in Divine Providence

By Jay Hough • March 12, 2024

With age comes wisdom - at least that’s what they say. I have come to find that the older I get, the more ways the Lord finds to teach me, humble me, and keep me following His plan.

Under Grace

By Jay Hough • March 11, 2024

As I read today’s scripture from Romans, I am filled with gratitude that as believers we are blessed to be living on this side of the cross in the resurrection power of Jesus Christ and no longer living under the Mosaic law like the Israelites.

Through Christ

By Jay Hough • March 10, 2024

As a momma of a child who played competitive sports most of his young life, I had the opportunity to see a variety of ways that parents and coaches encourage their kids to “give it their all,” “never give up,” or “expect nothing less than success.”

More than Conquerors

By Jay Hough • March 9, 2024

More than conquerors. The word conquerors here is the Greek word “nikao,” (we get Nike from it), and it means “to conquer, carry off the victory, and come off victorious.”

It Is Finished

By Jay Hough • March 8, 2024

As we journey through the season of Lent, we are reminded of the profound sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross.

Reliance on the Lord

By Jay Hough • March 7, 2024

A top-three-most-anxious moment for me was in the spring of 2020. Not only was there immense unknown about the growing pandemic, impending shut down, and swirls of misinformation, but I was also in my final semester of seminary and preparing to move my family from Austin to the Flower Mound area to become part of the staff at RockPointe.

Be Still

By Jay Hough • March 6, 2024

I don’t know that I am super great at being still. Don’t get me wrong. I can absolutely enjoy a hot cup of coffee in the morning quiet of a clean house or sit by the pool in the warmth of the sun, but I don’t know that I am very good at sitting still when my world is in chaos.

Lead Me to the Rock

By Jay Hough • March 5, 2024

David wrote Psalm 61 while he was far from home and far from comfort and most likely running from his son Absalom who sought to take his life.

Times of Trouble

By Jay Hough • March 4, 2024

When I was a young working adult, I often had to travel to other states alone. Sometimes my travel involved arriving late in the evening to an unfamiliar place.

Made Perfect in Weakness

By Jay Hough • March 3, 2024

In this passage, the Apostle Paul shares with the Corinthians his weakness. He recounts how he asked God to take away his ailment.
