Why Did Jesus Have to Die?

Deconstruction Week 4 - Why Did Jesus Have to Die? 

Léonce Crump (Senior Pastor of Renovation Church)

Description:

We all have questions about God and the Bible, but beneath all of them lies one crucial tension: Why did Jesus have to die? Once we have the answer, all the other doubts cease to be hurdles between us and Jesus. In the fourth and final week of Deconstruction, Léonce Crump (Senior Pastor of Renovation Church) tackles this fundamental question.
