The Way of the Cross: Hope with Guest Speaker Pastor Matt Bye (Romans 5:6–11)

On March 15, 2026, Matt Bye, pastor of Byerland Mennonite Church, joined the community at River Corner Church to share a message on hope as part of the Lenten sermon series “The Way of the Cross.”

This shared series is a collaboration among churches in the LMC Network of Churches' New Danville District, including Byerland Mennonite Church, New Danville Mennonite Church, and River Corner Church. Throughout Lent, pastors are visiting one another’s congregations to reflect on what it means to live the cruciform life—following Jesus in the shadow of the cross.

In this message, Pastor Matt explores the theme of hope through Isaiah 53:4–6 and Romans 5:6–11, reminding us that the cross reveals both the depth of human brokenness and the greater depth of God’s love. The hope found in Christ’s suffering and sacrifice shapes how believers live today.

The Lenten series continues with:
• Repentance – next week at River Corner Church
• Surrender – with Robert Brody of New Danville Mennonite Church

Together, these themes—hope, repentance, and surrender—form a shared journey through Lent as we consider what it means to follow Jesus on the way of the cross.
