New Sermon Series: The Meaning of Atonement
"The death of Jesus exceeds our attempts to explain it"
Kevin Vanhoozer
Beginning May 24, our Sunday messages will explore what it means that "Christ died for us".
Scripture is incredibly rich in the way it looks at Christ's death on the cross from different vantage points.
"How is it that Christ's death atones for our sins?"
"In what way is his death an example for us?"
"What does it mean to say that evil was defeated on the cross?"
"How was Jesus' death a sacrificial offering?"
These questions and more will get us thinking more deeply than ever
about what it means that 'Christ died for us".
A key question that will be asked each week:
"What does this view of the atonement mean to the way we live our lives?"
Scripture, of course, will be our primary and authoritative guide in these matters,
but Steve will also be drawing from Scot McKnight's book, A Community Called Atonement.
