During the Easter season, we focus on the death and resurrection of Jesus, but often overlook the time leading up to his arrest.
Was Jesus a victim of a cruel scheme or did he orchestrate those events to bring about God’s eternal plan? Join us for the series, The Final Week. Let’s explore how the days leading up to the trial, death, and resurrection of Jesus were all part of God’s eternal plan to save the world.
