Why Would a Loving God Send His Son to Die? w/ Q & A: Is God Relevant? Series (www.relevantseries.com). Includes Free Lunch.

People often point to the cross of Jesus Christ as the greatest demonstration of God’s love for humanity. How can this be? Isn’t the sacrifice of God’s only son more reason to question his love? All the greatest stories of love and self-sacrifice that are worth retelling involve great cost, but the cross still seems hard to grasp. Come and consider the central message of the Christian faith and ask your hardest questions.
