This CD includes resources for the pastor and musician, designed to lead the Christian congregation through the season of Lent in preparation for the Easter celebration. The CD offers complete text of sermons that work together with worship services, children's messages, Bible studies, and daily devotions, all conveniently structured and fully customizable.
Sometime around the year 762 BC, Amos, a herdsman from the small Judean town of Tekoa, heard the voice of God and compared it to hearing the roaring of a lion, a roaring that causes pastures to mourn and forests to wither (Amos 1:2). That is some kind of roar! The prophet then personally encounters the Lord as a Lion (3:12), and this propels him to confront Israel’s movers and shakers who were deaf to God’s call of justice and righteousness (e.g., 5:24; 7:1–17).
This Lent, we will listen to the Lion as He rumbles. And gathering under the cross, we will all the more be amazed when the roaring Lion defeats He greatest enemies: the devil, hell, and the power of death. Then with resurrection joy we will say of Jesus, “The Lion of the tribe of Judah . . . has conquered” (Revelation 5:5).

Worship Resources
In addition to the ‘traditional’ worship services using Divine Service and Vespers from Lutheran Service Book, we have also provided a second full set of worship services. This second set of worship services are generally more ‘contemporary’ in their setting, are less demanding musically, and have both the congregation and pastor speaking their parts of the service. The ‘traditional’ worship resources are found on the CD in Worship—FOLDER ONE, and the ‘contemporary’ worship resources are found on the CD in Worship—FOLDER TWO. Certainly those planning the worship can choose freely between the resources offered in both folders as fits local custom and need.
