“At the Crossroads” Series
A different topic each week at 1:00 PM & 7:30 PM
Many of those involved in the story of the Passion of Christ came to a crossroads and had to decide which way to go. Some chose well, some did not, and the stories of each of these experiences at various crossroads help us to know what to do and what not to do when we encounter similar crossroads in our own lives. In the end, each service in the series reveals in some way how Christ and his cross lead us to decide the path of God’s will for us.
March 4 – “Betrayal” March 11 – “Judgement”
March 18 – “Compassion” March 25 – “Declaration”
April 1 – “Obedience”
