April 14th and 16th - The Cause

THE CAUSE
Colossians 1:20-22

THE CROSS is not our logo
l It IS our cause (Philemon 1:2)

Viewing our cross through four windows (Mark Moore on “The Cross” video explains the first three views).

The Roman View
l One of torture and pain
l What did Jesus endure on the cross for us?

The Jewish View
l Losers that got caught
l Join the revolution that has already failed

The Christian View
l Everything in human history leads up to the cross
l Everything after it leads away

The Orchard View
l THE CROSS is the power of God ~ Corinthians 1:18
l THE CROSS is our access to God ~ Colossians 1:21-22

RECOGNIZE: The cross call us into relationship and we in turn call others into relationship with the cross.

A community in action is committed to the cross.
