Sermon by Jarrett McLaughlin from Matthew 16:21-27

This Lent, UPC will be engaging in Cross Talk. Each week we will be examining a different theory of atonement. Atonement is a fancy church word for what it is to literally be “at-one” with God. When we make atonement for something, we are doing something to repair a broken relationship. The church has different interpretations about how what happens on the cross connects us back with God.

This sermon talks about the moral influence theory of atonement.
