Aura may be “The Home Church You Have Been Looking For!” Hello, I am Dr. Jeff and I want to invite you join us as we explore the powerful truths of the Bible and apply them to our lives. The trauma of the cross experienced by eyewitnesses makes it nearly impossible to imagine that seeds of faith were planted for many who were there at Calvary. Yet, when we take a closer look at individuals in the crowd that gathered around the cross, we find that God seized the vileness of human sin and turned it around into something good. God’s life-transforming power is powerfully demonstrated in the lives changed at the cross and in the conversion of thousands at the Pentecost festival only 50 days later. How do you and I respond to the anxieties, trials and trauma that life often brings? Like many in the crowd, we can watch helplessly or even walk away in despair. Yet, genuine peace can be found when we place our complete trust in the one who conquered the grave. Join with me on Sunday as we meet the crowd at the cross, explore different choices that were made and learn from the consequences.
