CORE: What Really Happened at the Cross
Speaker: Pastor Kyle Horner
Description: What actually happened when Jesus went to the cross, and why does it matter for our lives today?
In this CORE teaching, we explore the meaning, necessity, and power of the cross. We look at why Jesus’ death was essential, what it accomplished, and how the cross, resurrection, and ascension stand at the very center of the Christian faith. This session helps bring clarity to grace, sin, redemption, and the finished work of Christ.
This teaching is part of CORE, a monthly class at The Connect Church designed to help believers grow deeper in their understanding of Scripture, theology, and the gospel.
Topics include:
Why the cross is central to all of history
Grace vs. works and faith vs. obedience
The problem of sin and humanity’s need for a Savior
Why Jesus had to be fully God and fully man
What Jesus’ victory over sin, death, and darkness accomplished
The meaning of atonement, redemption, reconciliation, and righteousness
Why the cross, resurrection, and ascension are foundational to Christianity
