Upcoming Teaching Series

UPCOMING series:
LONG LIVE THE KING

We wear the cross around our necks and hang it on our walls, but many are still left wondering, “Why did Jesus have to die?” What does the cross have to say about the fears, failures, and quiet exhaustion many of us carry every day? The cross often feels confusing, distant, or reduced to a symbol we no longer understand. In our new teaching series Long Live the King, as we head toward Good Friday and Easter, we’ll trace the biblical story to see the cross for what it truly is—a symbol of God’s costly, beautiful act of love, to rescue, redeem, and restore us. Join us as we discover again or anew the gift of God doing for us what we could never do for ourselves, leading us to life, now and forever.
