Was the Cross Always God’s Plan? | Sermon Conversations Episode 63
Mar 9, 2026 • Kirby Follis, Dr. Mark Edworthy, Ben Hays
In this episode of the Sermon Conversations podcast, the teaching pastors of CityRise Church dive into a new sermon series: The Power of the Cross. As we march toward Easter, we explore the profound truth that the crucifixion of Jesus was not an accident or a "Plan B"—it was God’s intentional plan from the origin of creation until His return.Join us as we trace the "scarlet thread" of redemption from the first mention of the Gospel in Genesis to the resurrected Christ on the road to Emmaus. We discuss how God’s plan for forgiveness was revealed at humanity's worst moment and why the cross remains the ultimate mission for the church today.Watch our services live or catch up on recent messages at CityRise.org/live
