How well do you really understand what Christ accomplished on the cross?

In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Tiffany Coker and Pastor Jeff Cranston put the doctrine of the atonement to the test through a true-or-false theology quiz. Each question explores core biblical truths about sin, God’s wrath, substitution, propitiation, and why Christ’s death was absolutely necessary for salvation.
