The Route is Recalculated: The Ultimate Journey of Jesus
Before we pack our bags for the summer, we have to look at the Map Maker. This Sunday, May 31st, we are launching our summer focus by tracing the grandest road trip in human history: the journey of Jesus. From ancient prophecies to a dusty manger, from a rugged cross to an empty tomb, and ultimately to His ascension and the sending of the Holy Spirit—Jesus traveled heaven and earth to reach us.
