New Message Series: The Big Picture

What do you think of when you hear the word “salvation”? Heaven? The afterlife? The Kingdom of God? And what does our faith teach us about salvation? Understanding salvation comes from a faith centered, first and foremost, on a relationship with Jesus Christ, our savior, and finds itself expressed in belief and action, rituals and practices.

In these final weeks of our Liturgical Year, we are reminded that Jesus is nearing the end of His journey to Jerusalem, his journey to the Cross. The scriptures in these three weeks highlight both the fears we all experience and the ways to overcome these fears as we journey in and to salvation: It is when we discover Jesus, follow Jesus, and share Jesus that we come to a deeper understanding of salvation, what it truly is, and how it squelches fear.

Let us come before the Cross of Jesus & seek to understand more fully the “Big Picture” that is salvation.
