Dying to Live - Ash Wednesday - Encouragement Everywhere

We are all going to die - each and everyone of us. There is something humbling about telling a person, even the youngest of us, "remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

It may seem odd to include a sermon about the inevitability of death in a podcast about encouragement, but it's important to remember that even amongst the tears and sadness of a loved one passing on, there is life among death.

Ash Wednesday is one of the most powerful days in the whole of the church year. It is a day when we come together to be reminded of our own mortality. All of us get a limited amount of time here on earth. Knowing that, we get to decide, how we want to spend that time. How do we want to live? What do you want to do with the time you have been given? Take some time to reflect on how you might come alive during the season of Lent.
