SERIES: THE WAY | 2 WEEKS ON THE GOSPEL
SERIES OVERVIEW (DOWNLOAD SERIES OVERVIEW)
Before Jesus, we were all spiritually dead in our sins, unable to save ourselves. But in His love, Jesus took our place, bearing the punishment we deserved on the way to the cross. As we journey toward Easter, we’ll see how His sacrifice and resurrection bring us from death to life, offering us the hope of true freedom. We’ll see how our sin puts us on the way to death, but because Jesus made his way to the cross in our place, He has now given us a Way to new life in a relationship with Him!
SERIES THEME VERSE
“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved” — Ephesians 2:4-5
OVERVIEW FOR EACH WEEK IN THIS SERIES:
WEEK 1 – April 6
This week, we’ll take a look at how the Bible describes sin and its consequences. Unfortunately, many of us think about sin like it’s not that big of a deal, but Scripture is clear that sin put all of humanity in a hopeless state, desperately in need of a savior.
BIG IDEA: Sin is the way that leads to death.
BIBLE: Genesis 3:1-6; Isaiah 53:6; Romans 6:23; James 5:16; Ephesians 2:4-5
WEEK 2 – April 13
Because of sin, we were deserving of a punishment. But, God loves us so much that He sent Jesus to die in our place. This week, we’ll take a look at a man named Barabbas to illustrate how Jesus took on the punishment we deserved in order to give us a way back to God.
BIG IDEA: Jesus made His way to the Cross, so that we can have a way to God.
BIBLE: Matthew 27:15-26; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 2:4-5
