Lent Devotional Series: Glittering Vices (The Seven Deadly Sins)

Christians recognise that sin is a vandal of everything good that God created. It spoils people, wrecks lives, disturbs relationships and ravages whole societies. It is out of concern to know and enjoy the good we were created for that we look at sin. The entire focus of studying the seven deadly sins is to examine our hearts- to name those patterns and habits that rob us of goodness and life, so that we can be healed and freed of them, so that we can receive Christ’s full life. We do not aim to obsess about sin but to catalyze spiritual growth - to fix our eyes on Jesus and pursue his Kingdom, and along the way throw off the sin that so easily entangles us (Heb. 12:1).

This devotional series is designed to use through the weeks of Lent but can be used anytime. It gives prompts for reading each day and some reflections or quotes on the sin of the week. The PDFs below can be printed (we suggest printing 2 pages to a sheet, double sided, and folding down the middle) and distributed.
