Third Sunday of Lent 24th March: Focus: Jesus calls us to repent so that we might bear good fruit. – God’s ways are not our ways. In order to bear good fruit, we must allow him to shape & mould our lives. This was not a new message that Jesus shared, but an affirmation of the covenant that God made with his people from the beginning. God is faithful - & so we are called to be. When we stray & wither or produce bad fruit, we have the opportunity to repent & try again.
