Total peace is elusive. Moments of peace are precious, if and when we experience them. When we find them, we hold on tight and pray they last. But there’s a peace that goes beyond our understanding – beyond the pain and fear we face today. Chances are, you’ve been missing peace from time to time in your life. Perhaps you’ve been missing peace for quite some. It’s time for God’s people to re-discover His peace.

It’s easy to take the cross for granted. It’s easy to forget that the crucifixion at the cross was the ultimate form of torture. What was designed to bring death to a person was used as a vehicle to bring life to all.At the cross we are faced with the reality that our brokenness and our sin carry a penalty. At the cross the very Son of God took our penalty. At the cross we’ll find the details of what grace looks like. ‘At the Cross’ will give us a window into why the darkest day of Jesus’ story reveals the brightest day of history.
