Homelessness in Baton Rouge is a pressing issue. Approximately 400 individuals daily were looking for a shelter bed as of September 2024. Many face food insecurity, especially on weekends. A mobile breakfast service on Sunday mornings, called the Love Your Neighbor van, fills this gap by delivering meals to various locations, ensuring sustenance when other resources are unavailable. The van also provides clothing, basic first aid care, shoes, nutrition drinks, and more to our homeless neighbors.

Nicodemus steps through the dark of night to come to the light of the world: Jesus. Through his encounter with Christ we learn that Jesus is the one to bring our questions, wonder, even doubts, and the one worthy of our faith. Nicodemus teaches that complete understanding is not a prerequisite for faith, but instead faith is about who we trust with our questions and with our life. This sermon exalts Jesus as the true light of the world and how we can draw near to Him. During the holy season of Lent, we move through the darkness of intentional practices to also meet Christ.  The Lenten focus on confession, discipline, and spiritual practices bring us to the true heart of the gospel: that God so loved the world, he sent his Son, not to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
