“The Power Of The Cross” Part 1

Someone has said, "Sin built the cross but love placed Jesus on it." Obviously not everyone today

embraces and cherishes the message of the Cross. This is not something new. In Paul's day they did not embrace it either. However, the Bible is clear. The cross is the very means of our salvation. Join us for the next three Sundays as we look at the timeless message of the cross.
