God Doing For Us What We Could Not Do For Ourselves (Message 1: Savior)

The cross is the central symbol of the Christian faith. But why did Jesus have to die to save us from our sins, and what does the cross mean for us today? The Bible uses different images to help us understand the death of Christ, and this message launches a new series to guide us through six of these images, beginning with substitution, the idea that Jesus took our place on the cross. What are the strengths and limitations of this image? How can it help us be more honest about our need for God and the depth of God's unfathomable love? Tune in to find out!
