Cross Connection links Jesus Christ’s ancient sacrifice on the cross and our current need for forgiveness. Program host Oleg Kostyuk provides a fresh and in-depth study on the life of Christ through an interactive conversation with in-studio guests, phone calls with viewers and through social media chats on Facebook and Twitter. Each Cross Connection program examines the life of Jesus Christ based on the testimonies of the Synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and also the Gospel of John. Each writer shares a unique view on how Jesus shared his faith in God, his love for others through ministry and his humanity in life’s daily struggles. Although Christ’s death was more than 2,000 years ago, it is still relevant for us today. His sacrifice for our sins provides hope for a perfect world where we will live eternally with our Savior who made a Cross Connection with us. en false Oleg Kostyuk, Sergio Gonzalez https://beta.hopeplatform.org/shows/cross-connection Hope Channel North America info@hopetv.org Cross Connection episodic Copyright 2026.
