Worship During the Season of Lent
Welcome to worship at King of Glory Worship and Ministry Center in Carmel, IN!
On this Sunday during Lent, let us worship the one rescues us from the hopelessness of death!
If you are able, we invite you to join us for communion where you are! You may use any kind of bread and either wine or grape juice, so that you may also receive the body and blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.

Today's Message
- "Living in the Midst of Snakes" - Rev. Steve Albertin
- All of us become impatient when things have not gone our way.
- The Israelites express similar impatience with their life in the midst of their 40-year journey in the wilderness and complain.
- However, God’s patience runs out and he sends an invasion of fiery serpents whose poisonous bites cause many to die.
- God sends the “poisonous snakes” to confront us with the truth of the futility of thinking we can simply go our own way.
- God instructs Moses to make a bronze likeness of those poisonous snakes and mount it on top of a pole. Then, when anyone is bitten by a snake, all he need to do is look at the bronze serpent on the pole and he will live.
- In today’s Gospel Jesus compares Himself to that same bronzed serpent in the desert.
- As the bronzed serpent became the means by which God saved snake-bitten Israel, so also does Christ lifted up on the cross become the means by which God saves us.
- When we believe that promise, we HAVE the God of never ending patience. We can at last trust the patience of God in the midst of the snakes.
Don't forget, you can give your offering online at https://kogcarmel.org/give
We invite you to join us every Sunday at 10am!
During Lent, we'll also gather for mid-week worship and prayer at 7pm on Wednesdays, where we hear from the people who were there during Christ's Passion!
Go in peace and serve the Lord!
