THE PRODUCTION

 

Calvary Unleashed

“I’m not going to nail Jesus to the Cross again.”

 

SYNOPSIS

“Calvary Unleashed” takes us to Life & Love Church, where we meet metaphoric church members. Good or bad, these members resonate because they typically reside in the walls of sanctuaries everywhere. This production boldly pulls the covers off and illuminates obstacles that stand in the way of salvation and sanctification. At the center, we are reminded of the ransom Jesus paid so that we can have eternal life. We desire that everyone leaves with the conviction, “I’m not going to nail Jesus to the cross again.” At the end, there is an altar call for salvation, deliverance, and general prayer.
