The Grotesque Beauty of The Cross: Pastor Jake Roberts

Good Shepherd Church Season 2 Episode 167

In his sermon, Pastor Jake explores the concept of beauty and the profound significance of the cross, and asserts that true beauty, which draws us in and fills us with peace, often gets overshadowed by superficial pursuits dictated by pop culture. In the context of Lent, he reflects on how the cross serves as a pivotal point between two worlds: the world of sin and the promise of new creation through Christ's resurrection.
