Many are familiar with the traditional understandings of what took place on the cross, Jesus’ death and resurrection overcoming sin. This course will explore both this traditional understanding and expand that view by looking at the power of the cross effective also for those who are sinned against. Through biblical exploration, we journey from sin to redemption and simultaneously from hurt to healing, both paths converging at the cross, ultimately resulting in rejoicing! This eight-week class will take a two week break during Spring Break and Holy Week for a reflective experience. Each class lasts approximately 1 ½ hours. Materials needed: your Bible.
