The heart of the cross is penal substitutionary atonement. But what does that mean exactly, and why do many theologians object to this doctrine? Steve Jeffrey is the Minister of Emmanuel Evangelical Church in north London. He helped write a book on this topic - Pierced for our Transgressions. He unpacks this doctrine for us by looking back to the Old Testament for clues to this pattern embedded all throughout scripture. Don't forget- early bird tickets for REVIVE 2020 are available now at co-mission.org/revive

Today on the Co-Mission Podcast we hear from Jason O'Shea, a missionary for London City Mission in Lewisham. He and his wife Tayo run Operation Forgiveness, an outreach program for school children that looks to tackle the knife crime epidemic in London.
Please note: this week's podcast is a tough listen, but it is very important.
Jason Roach wrote an article about how The Bridge Battersea are facing serious youth violence on the estate they are in. This issue is directly affecting our churches and communities across our city. We need to pray.
