This We Confess | Christ the King: Cross and Crown
In the fourth message from our This We Confess series, lead pastor Aaron Lentz focuses on the most pivotal moment in history: the suffering, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
This isn’t just theology. It’s deeply personal. For our sake, Jesus chose the cross. He stepped into our pain, carried our sin, endured betrayal, humiliation, and death, not out of obligation, but out of love.
Together, we explore why this moment is central to both the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed and what it means to live as people marked by the cross and resurrection. From historical evidence to biblical prophecy, we’re reminded that this was always God’s plan to rescue and restore.
Whether you’re facing pressure, pain, or just the start of a new season, let this message anchor you in the unshakable hope of the gospel: that death does not get the final word. Jesus does.
