The Purpose Of The Cross

Mar 23, 2025    Pastor Mike Towner

The cross is not just a symbol—it is the center of our faith. It’s where the holiness of God confronts the depth of our sin, and where His love meets His justice. God is far more holy than we can imagine, and we are far more sinful than we’d like to admit. But the cross bridges the impossible gap between us.

At the cross, Jesus took the punishment we deserved, satisfying God's justice and displaying His love in full. We who were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. This is the gospel—our only hope, our greatest boast, and the power that saves.
