The Godlessness of the Cross

"As we look at the Crucifixion, we will be talking about the shame and degradation it entails, and we will even consider the possibility that the Crucifixion of Christ was godless. Thus, this may be the darkest and most challenging of the sermons in the series, but my hope is that it will prepare us for the larger hope entailed in the death and resurrection of Christ as Father, Son, and Spirit for all the people of the world, all the time, ourselves included." Rev. Dr. Larry Hayward preaches on the Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Scripture passages are Isaiah 52:14, 53:2b-3; Mark 15:33-34, 37; and Philippians 2:5-11.
