This sermon series describes four views of the cross. Not that any of these views totally invalidates the others, but that each adds depth and sparkle to the others. The death of Christ on the cross cannot be explained by one metaphor. This week's sermon discusses: WHY Jesus is our Passover Lamb; WHAT that means for us; and HOW it impacts our lives. The Passover Lamb wasn't killed for Israel's sins, and Jesus wasn't only killed for ours.

Sometimes it can be difficult to know if we come to church to help others, to help ourselves, or do to God a favor. Perhaps at different points in our lives we think it's each of those things.

This sermon presents a mindset that can transform the worship experience for everyone.

This sermon describes some of the core values of Lawson Rd Church of Christ. We seek to match these core values with the overall movement of Scripture. Because the following day is Martin Luther King Day, we also look at how he incorporated these values in his teaching regarding the Civil Rights Movement.
