Sunday Worship: The 2nd Sunday before Lent (Sexagesima)

We are in the Pre-Lenten Season as we prepare ourselves for the great Lenten fast. The Sunday has traditionally been called “Sexagesima,” which means 60, as in 60 days until Easter.

Dr. Paul Smith will be preaching from Psalm 14.

A. The fall and disobedience of our first parents, Adam and Eve, in Paradise. This fall has so poisoned our nature that we are all conceived and born in a sinful condition.
