Lenten Series - The Real Meaning of the Cross
Session 1: Did Jesus die for me?

Did Jesus Die For Me? Yes, but it doesn't mean a free ride. The cross is a beginning, a way to personal transformation that leads to redemption, not a magical eraser for immediate salvation. Jesus said He is the Way, the Truth, the Life. On this planet and in our time the cross is His way.

Offering: $5 per session

February 13, 2008

Dinner at 6:00 pm
