What if the declaration "It is finished" holds more layers than we've been taught? Explore the profound implications of Jesus's words on the cross as we confront traditional teachings and unravel the complex relationship between grace and judgment. We'll dig into John 17:4 and challenge the notion that the completion of Jesus's work was a singular event, inviting you to consider the multifaceted stages of fulfillment that extend beyond the crucifixion.
Join us on a historical journey as we examine Jesus's profound warnings in Matthew 23 and 24 about the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. Discover how his dialogue with the Pharisees and his predictions to his disciples hold relevance for us today, beyond the constraints of the "flyaway theory." We'll unravel the symbolism of the fig tree parable and the significance of the 40-year period from crucifixion to the temple's fall, seeking connections that resonate with contemporary faith.
Wrestle with theological concepts like atonement, sin, and forgiveness as we trace their roots back to the Old Testament and explore their transformation in the New Covenant. From the Day of Atonement in Leviticus to the profound shift marked by Jesus's death, resurrection, and ascension, we'll explore how His blood applied to the heavenly mercy seat signifies a new understanding of salvation. Engage with us in questioning traditional interpretations and fostering an open-minded community ready to explore new depths of faith together.
