Sermon Series - 2/28/2021 - "If the Cross Is the Answer, What Is the Question?" Part 1 Come Hell or High Water"

We have been taught that the death of Jesus on the cross takes away our sin. But exactly how does that work? Does Jesus take our rightful place in order to placate an angry God? Or does somehow Jesus’ death break the power of death? These various ideas and images are called “theories of atonement.” During Lent we will examine many of the ways atonement and the cross have been understood throughout Christian history. We will find that each understanding sheds light on all the ways God loves and cares for us.
