cross
Christians and non-Christians alike often wrestle with the question: “Why the Cross?” Why is forgiveness from God necessary, and why does someone have to die? As we enter into Good Friday, we ponder the answer to these questions from Paul’s letter to the Romans—to show that the cross is both an expression of God’s justice and His great love.
Romans 3:21-26
We’ll take a look at the different trials that come our way and how we respond to them. In this message, we’ll see how, in the end, Jesus and the cross provide the way through all of them.
Acts 27:21-44
A religious leader named Joseph watched Jesus from a distance and secretly trusted in Him. But it wasn’t until he saw Jesus on the cross that he found the courage to follow Him. This message looks at how the events of Good Friday can change us if we let them.
Mark 15: 42-47
The final scene and often the closing words are crucial in understanding any story. The same is true of Jesus. The last words that He uttered on the cross give us an essential understanding of what He came to do. Many people misinterpret Jesus because they don’t take His final words seriously. And even those who do understand Jesus rightly often don’t connect what He accomplished with how we are freed to live. Join us Good Friday for an examination of the meaning and implications of Jesus’ final words on the cross.
