Road to the Cross
Shame
March 25, 2018 • Jeff Manion
Pastor Jeff Manion concludes the series Road to the Cross with a conversation centered on Jesus’ interactions with Pilate, the soldiers and the spectators. These interactions help us learn more about ourselves and the verbal abuse Jesus experienced on our behalf. The early church saw Jesus’ response as an example of how to respond in times of hardship, challenging us to respond with humility ourselves.
Safety Check
March 18, 2018 • Dr. John Dickson
Guest speaker John Dickon walks us through the conversation between Jesus and one of the criminals crucified next to him. The conversation leads us to a three-part “safety check” to help us assess our understanding of the gospel. The safety check is important because it is possible to assume we have the real thing when we actually have a plastic version.
Alone
March 11, 2018 • Jeff Manion
Pastor Jeff Manion discusses the events surrounding Jesus’ trial. Peter plays a central role as he moves from claiming he would follow Jesus to the point of death to being disappointed in himself because he denied knowing Jesus three times. Through this conversation we are reacquainted with a Jesus who knows what it is like to be alone because he was abandoned by those closest to him.
