From United Methodist Church – Preach a topical series….

http://www.gbod.org/planning-calendar/lent/resource/preaching-through-the-season-of-lent 

On the first Sunday in Lent, preach about the freedom and power God gives God's people to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves.

On the second Sunday in Lent, explore what it means to confess Jesus Christ as your Savior.

 On the third Sunday in Lent, talk about the responsibility of others -- parents, sponsors, mentors, and church members -- to take seriously their role in the covenant and the continuing need to reaffirm their own baptismal covenant.

On the fourth Sunday in Lent, discuss the Apostles' Creed and its historical and theological role in our baptismal faith.

On the fifth Sunday in Lent, consider the welcome that states "Through baptism you are incorporated by the Holy Spirit into God's new creation and made to share in Christ's royal priesthood. We are all one in Christ Jesus."

How does reflecting upon our baptismal covenant during the season of Lent help to prepare us for the Easter proclamation? How are we transformed by the journey?
