Faith Inkubators Lent 2027
He Comes to Challenge. He Comes to Confront. He Comes to Die.
A flexible, ecumenical, cross-generational Lent resource for Year B of the Revised Common Lectionary.
Faith Inkubators Lent 2027 is designed for congregations across the mainline Christian tradition. Rooted in the Revised Common Lectionary, it guides children, youth, adults, and older adults through six weeks centered on Christ's life-giving sacrifice. Use the complete series, incorporate selected elements into the Lent programming you already have, or draw from the included PowerPoints, skits, sermon aids, music, small-group activities, and other ready-to-use resources.
Designed for Mainline Christian Congregations
Lent 2027 is intentionally ecumenical rather than denomination-specific. The resource is rooted in Scripture and the Revised Common Lectionary and is designed for use across Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Episcopal, UCC, Reformed, and other mainline Christian congregations.
Use It Your Way
Lent 2027 is designed to support your congregation's ministry, not force you into a single program format.
Complete Six-Week Series
Use the themes, teaching materials, small-group resources, activities, music, and supporting materials together as a complete cross-generational Lenten journey.
Alongside What You Already Do
Keep your existing worship, preaching, or midweek traditions and add the pieces that strengthen them, from PowerPoints and sermon aids to small-group discussion and activities.
Use It as a Resource Toolbox
Pull individual skits, Bible verse songs, activities, presentation slides, handouts, or other tools into your congregation's own Lent programming.
A Six-Week Journey Toward the Cross
Three two-week themes trace a progression from Christ's call to follow, through confrontation and repentance, to the saving mission revealed at the cross.
He Comes to Challenge
Take up your cross and follow.
Jesus calls his disciples to leave behind what distracts and controls them, deny themselves, take up the cross, and follow. These weeks invite every generation to wrestle with what Christ's radical call means in their own lives.
He Comes to Confront
Turn from what leads to death and follow Christ to life.
Jesus confronts the religious status quo, cleanses the temple, and reveals God's saving purpose. These weeks explore repentance, grace, and the challenge of Christ's claims in a world filled with competing voices.
He Comes to Die
The journey reaches the cross.
The true nature of Jesus' mission comes into focus. Christ moves toward the cross with purpose and courage, revealing the depth of God's saving love and inviting participants to reflect on what his sacrifice means for their lives.
FAITH5 at the Core
Small-group time at church is shaped by FAITH5, a simple five-step practice that connects Scripture with real life and relationships.
FAITH5 gives small groups a repeatable rhythm for conversation, Scripture, prayer, and blessing throughout the Lenten journey.
