This is the third book in the Making Sense series, by David Lose. Making Sense of the Cross gives us the opportunity to "listen in" on a conversation between two people who are having an open and candid discussion about the cross. We will tackle questions like: · So what’s with the cross? · What does the cross say about God? · What’s the big deal? · Did Jesus have to die? · Why does the Cross Matter? Bring your Bibles and your questions. There are two opportunities to attend this study: · Wednesday evenings from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church (Sheraden), 3102 Sherwood Ave., Pgh 15204.
