Lent 2022:
In This World
You Will Have
Trouble

 

Series Overview

We are more acquainted with God on the mountaintop than in the valley, more acquainted with the Jesus of victory on resurrection morning than Jesus praying through tears in the Garden of Gethsemane, more well-acquainted with the King of Kings than the Suffering Servant. This series, we will be taking an in-depth look at suffering as we learn what it means to suffer with Christ.
