The Second Word: Salvation Series
Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Mar 24, 2005
The second word of our Savior on the cross is directed to one of the thieves crucified with him. An analysis of Jesus’ second word on the cross, as set forth in Luke 23:43, teaches us about salvation.
Introduction Jesus was crucified between two thieves. One of the thieves mocked Jesus. But the other thief rebuked him. Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:42-43). Herbert ...read more

"I Thirst" Series
Contributed by Kevin Cummins on Jun 9, 2003
"I thirst" is a statement from the cross that was only recorded by John in his gospel. I believe there was at least three reasons why God inspired to John to record that statment. This sermons looks at those three reasons.
Last week our fourth statement from the cross that we looked at was perhaps the most agonizing statement of all. I believe as Christ took on the sins of the world, that sin that was upon Him separated Him from His Father and in that time of spiritual agony He cried out, “My God, my God, why ...read more

The Wonder Of Jesus’ Crucifixion Series
Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 24, 2013
Jesus shed His blood several times during the last 24 hours of His life. And there is a powerful story to be found in blood and water that came from Jesus’ side. Do you know what that story is? And do you know what it can mean to your life?
In Oklahoma, someone saw this poster promoting a Red Cross blood drive: "I gave my blood. Christ gave his. I give a pint. He gave all. The needle is small, sharp. The nails were large, dull. The table soft, restful. The cross rough, painful. The nurses ...read more

Looking For Life In All The Wrong Places
Contributed by David Dunn on Mar 30, 2026
We miss Jesus not because He is absent, but because tears, wrong direction, and false expectations keep us from recognizing His living presence.
There is something unsettling about realizing you can be very close to the truth… and still completely miss it. Not far away. Not opposed to it. Not rejecting it. Just… missing it. You can be in the right place… at the right time… looking in the right direction… …and still not see what matters ...read more

More Is Caught Than Taught
Contributed by David Dunn on Mar 30, 2026
Children absorb what we consistently live; our priorities, convictions, and habits quietly shape their understanding of what matters, what’s flexible, and what’s optional.
I visited a friend for Thanksgiving. Nothing formal. Just one of those homes where you walk in and immediately feel like you belong. The kitchen was already alive—warm, a little crowded, full of movement. You could hear things happening before you even saw them. Pots shifting. Laughter from the ...read more
