Episode 019: The Cross

SPECIAL Pastor Roundtable discussion on Easter organized by MOUNTAIRE FARMS. Roger Marino of Mountaire Farms helped to organize the discussion and shares a bit about Thanksgiving at Easter.

Guests include Pastor Bruce Rogers of Long Neck UMC in Long Neck, DE - Pastor Art Roxby of Milford Church of the Nazarene in Milford, DE - Jim Dorton of Three Stones Church in Dover, DE - Pastor Rick Betts of Crossroad Community Church in Georgetown, DE.

What historical facts support the claim that Jesus lived, and died on a cross? Do we take the whole claim on Faith alone - or – should we handle the events of the cross with a mixture of historical evidence, and faith? What is so ‘good’ about Good Friday?

We also find out how our Guest Pastors recognize and remember the events of the cross during the Easter season - and throughout the entire year?
