Beyond Sunday Podcast - Weekly conversations with Pastor David Bauser, Faith Formation director Patrick Nazaroff and author Elise McCarter.
THIS WEEK - Books of the Bible Series: John and the Crucifixion The Gospel of John stands alone as unique perspective on Jesus’ life and ministry. While the major beats of the story remain the same, John is singing a tune that isn’t always familiar to that of the other Gospel authors. But, through its design and the narrative it conveys, we also receive a new insight into who Jesus was, why he came, and what his death and resurrection means for the world.
