Details
The passion of Jesus Christ was all about people. Jesus suffered and died for all people. People were there; people took part; and people stood by and watched. What do we know about these people? This Lenten series includes nine sermons: six midweek sermons, plus Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday.
