Station of Your Cross
What if the interruption you are resisting is the hand of God rerouting your life? In this message, Pastor David traces a surprising thread through Scripture, from the missionary impact of Paul to the church at Antioch, to the people of Cyrene, all the way back to one unforgettable moment when Simon of Cyrene was pulled from a crowd to carry the cross of Jesus. This sermon explores how one unexpected encounter with Christ can transform a family, shape a legacy, and create a ripple that reaches far beyond what anyone could imagine.
Mark 15:21

- Opening Reminder / Check-In
- We began this journey on Ash Wednesday with Darkness to Dawn. We have been making space for God, reflecting, fasting, praying, and preparing our hearts for Easter.

- How has fasting, prayer, or intentional reflection affected you so far?Question one.
- HEAD – What did Jesus say to you through the Word?
