Live from St Matthew's Church in Westminster. 

BBC Radio 4's worship programmes during Lent this year take 'Stories of hope' as their theme. They follow Jesus' journey from the River Jordan, where he was baptised, to Jerusalem, where he was crucified and buried, and where he rose again from the dead. They begin on this the first Sunday in Lent by looking at ways in which people can make a fresh start in their lives after periods of trouble and distress.

The preacher is the Reverend Jeremy Davies, with reflections from Jonathan Aitken, the former MP who received an 18-month prison sentence for perjury. Music for the penitential season includes the hymns Forty Days and Forty Nights, and There's a Wideness in God's mercy. Director of Music: Nigel Groome. Producer: Ben Collingwood. 

A link to Lent resources complementing the series can be found on the Sunday Worship web page.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
