Series Guide
Overview
This four-week series outlines the way of the cross that we see in the Gospels. Jesus begins his journey to the cross by entering Jerusalem with celebration on Palm Sunday. He then goes from celebration to sorrow in the garden of Gethsemane, wrestling with the sin and brokenness of humanity. This brings him to Golgotha to pay the price for sin and sorrow. The story ends not with sorrow and death but with resurrection and new life. These stages reveal to us our brokenness and our continuous need for God’s grace and the new life we have in Jesus.
