Substitutionary Atonement

Message 1: Savior

February 18, 2024 • Pastor Mark Reynolds • Romans 3:22–25

Give

The cross is the central symbol of the Christian faith. But why did Jesus have to die to save us from our sins, and what does the cross mean for us today? The Bible uses different images to help us understand the death of Christ, and this Sunday we are starting a new series that will guide us through six of these images, beginning with substitution, the idea that Jesus took our place on the cross. By exploring the mystery of salvation through the cross, we will deepen our love for God and others and strengthen our commitment to follow Jesus.

Reconciliation

March 10, 2024 • Pastor Mark Reynolds • Ephesians 2:13–14, Ephesians 4:3–6

In this message, we continue the Lenten series, "Savior," by looking at how Jesus saves us by reconciling us to God. Discover how this gift of reconciliation not only brings peace with God but also helps us mend our relationships with others.

Cleansing

March 17, 2024 • Pastor Mark Reynolds • Hebrews 9:11–14

In this message, we continue the series, Savior, by looking at how Jesus removes the stain of sin from our souls. As we dive into this rich metaphor, we'll see how the power of God's love as revealed in the cross washes us clean and restores us to health.

Jesus as Moral Example

March 3, 2024 • Pastor Mark Reynolds • 1 John 3:16–18

In this message, we continue the series, "Savior," by looking at Jesus as a moral example. Sin makes us incapable of fully receiving the love of God into our hearts and reflecting it back into the world. God sends Jesus to save us by showing us how to live and love.
