United Church Lenten Sermon Series

United Church of Marco Island begin a Lenten Sermon series entitled, “The Difficult Words of Jesus.” The series is based on a book by the same name by Dr. Amy-Jill Levine. Dr. Levine promotes the book as “A Beginner’s guide to His most perplexing teachings!”

Each week, the sermon will follow the table of contents of the book to include: March 8 and 9: Sell What You Own; March 15 and 16: Hate Father and Mother; March 22 and 23: Slave of All; March 29 and 30: A Face in the Crowd; April 5 and 6: Outer Darkness; April 12 and 13: Your Father the Devil; and April 19 and 20:  New Life.  

Ed Brandt, Pastor for United Church of Marco added, “We often gloss over the difficult words of Jesus. Dr. Levine brings a Jewish perspective to the sayings and we explore how the sayings apply to our lives today!” 

United Church is located at 320 N. Barfield Dr, Marco Island and worships every Saturday at 4:30 and Sunday mornings at 8:30 and 10:00 am. More information can be found at www.ucmarco.org. Ed Brandt is the Pastor, 239-970-6097.
