It is difficult to change, but there are examples that we have all seen over the years where people genuinely do change. In my trips to Africa over the past 20 years I have seen how people have changed.  Here are some  good lessons for us as we approach the Passover. [![Context, Pre-Passover Preparation Poster](https://members-resources.cogwa.org/hs-fs/hubfs/COGWA/Members/Spring%20Festivals%20Resources/Context%2c%20Pre-Passover%20Preparation%20Poster.jpeg?width=1280&height=720&name=Context%2c%20Pre-Passover%20Preparation%20Poster.jpeg) ](https://members.cogwa.org/education/type/sermons/contex-pre-passover-preparation/) ### Context, Pre-Passover Preparation ###### Given by Britton Taylor To properly examine our spiritual well-being we need to know context. We need to know how far we have come to salvation. With God's help, we strive for perfection—the example that Christ set for us.

We should take the Passover soberly and in a spirit of repentance, but not in discouragement. Our focus is to be on Jesus Christ, our living Savior. [![Jerichos and Accursed Things Poster](https://members-resources.cogwa.org/hubfs/COGWA/Members/Spring%20Festivals%20Resources/Jerichos%20and%20Accursed%20Things%20Poster.jpg) ](https://members.cogwa.org/fnl/jerichos-and-accursed-things/) ### Jerichos and Accursed Things ###### Given by Clyde Kilough As we approach the Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread, a study of Joshua 5-7 is quite instructive. Not only did the events we read here transpire during this time of the year, more important, the spiritual lessons we can draw from this story are critically important, and as relevant now as they were over 3,000 years ago. What are your “Jerichos”?  What are the “accursed things” that pose temptations and spiritual dangers to us today?
