The Glory of God in the Death of Christ
Stare directly into the face of Christ on the cross as you learn the significance of what he accomplished for us. You will be changed by what you see (2 Corinthians 3:18). Engage in an in-depth study of the Scriptures’ teaching on the meaning of the Cross in a way that combines teaching and discussion; prayer and Bible study; and theology and practical, "real-life" application.
