2026 Lenten Worship Series

Why Did Jesus Have to Die?

The crucifixion of Jesus stands at the heart of the Christian faith, yet it raises profound questions that many believers grapple with: “Why did Jesus have to die?” “Did God need for Jesus to suffer?” “How does His death so long ago absolve us of our sins today?” These are questions that the disciples, early Christians, and theologians today grapple with and come to different conclusions. If you’ve ever had questions about the meaning of the cross, this Lenten series will encourage you to explore 9 different theories of atonement and seek to understand the crucifixion better. Based on a sermon series by Adam Hamilton, this Lent we will journey toward the cross with a deeper sense of what it means for us and all humanity.
