Scripture Reading from Isaiah 2: 1-22 (0:00)Sermon by Charles Anderson (3:12)
Why does Paul celebrate singleness? Why does he call it a gift when many see it as a curse? Paul elevates the singles in the church by pulling back our focus to see that devotion to God matters more than any relationship status.

"Feeling Good about Doing Wrong"
The Two Ways: Trust in the Lord
Power Is Service: Jesus teaches that power is service. Authority exists to protect the vulnerable, not exploit them. Today's Gospel provides the Christian foundation for politics and pro life leadership.
Repent of Bloodshed: Isaiah calls us to repent of tolerating bloodshed and to intervene to save the vulnerable. Silence is not neutral. Action is required. Today's First Reading confronts abortion directly. EndAbortion.TV
Christ Abolished Death: Jesus Christ abolished death. That victory defines our Lenten journey and stands at the heart of our battle against abortion. Today's Second Reading anchors our hope in Christ's triumph. EndAbortion.TV
Stop Condemning the Innocent: Jesus tells us to stop condemning. Yet the unborn, the frail, and the unwanted are condemned daily. Today's Gospel calls us to mercy that protects life. EndAbortion.TV

Scripture Reading from Genesis 12: 1-9 (0:00)Sermon by Esaïe Etienne (1:33)
After warning about the dangers of sexual immorality in chapter 6, Paul now highlights several principles for marriage in the first part of chapter 7.
We Belong to God: We are a people who belong to God. That identity forms the foundation of holiness and the culture of life. Today's First Reading reminds us who we are and why we defend life.
Betrayal. Disillusionment. Survival. Before we condemn Judas, we might first need to admit how often faith turns transactional in our own hearts. Perhaps we have more in common with Judas than we previously thought. That’s what Revs. Hannah and Brittany discuss in this episode of our Lenten Series: The People of the Passion. They reflect on Matthew 26:14-16, 47-50 and the story of Judas … not as a cartoon villain, but as a mirror of our own hearts. They ask: Why did Judas betray Jesus? Was it really about money? Or unmet expectations? Disappointment? Survival within a broken system? We will all make mistakes, we all sometimes turn down the wrong path, so perhaps Judas’ story is more about the hope available to us all instead of the story of a villain. Join the female pastors of First UMC of San Diego as they explore: The tension between relationship and convenience The link between unmet expectations and resentment Emotional distancing as self-protection How systems enable betrayal Why Judas may represent something deeply human in all of us Judas isn’t just “the betrayer.” He is a disciple, a friend, and someone invited to the table — even knowing what he would do. And that might be the most hopeful part of the story. Continue the conversation by reflecting with someone you trust or connecting with the Perspectives community online through Patreon and in person at the weekly Convergence Discussion Group. Reflection questions for Lent: Where have I reduced devotion to a transaction? Where do I quietly distance myself from friends in order to protect my resources? What expectations do you need to shift or let go of to follow Jesus? Limited on time? Jump ahead to these pivotal moments.

False Reconciliation and Real Mercy: We often pretend to reconcile while withholding forgiveness. Today's First Reading exposes hypocrisy and calls us to authentic mercy. True reconciliation strengthens the culture of life.
Listening Is the Beginning of Salvation: Jesus teaches that salvation begins with listening. Repentance and forgiveness require hearing the truth. Today's Gospel challenges us to listen to Christ and apply His words to the defense of life.
The Golden Rule and Pro Life Strategy: The Golden Rule is not sentimental. It is strategic. Put yourself in the position of the unborn. Today's Gospel provides a direct framework for defending life with clarity and conviction.
