Embracing the Cross: The Heart of Christian Transformation (01/19/'24)

"Embracing the Cross: The Heart of Christian Transformation" In the Christian faith, the cross is central: just as Jesus without the cross cannot be understood as the Christ, so Christians cannot be true followers without embracing the cross. Similarly, a church devoid of the cross's significance fails to embody its true essence. The cross symbolizes a place and time of transformation where, in emulating Jesus' sacrifice, one can experience spiritual death and be reborn through the grace of God. -Pastor Steven G. Lee (January 19, 2024)
