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.

The Seven Words From The Cross
Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Mar 16, 2004
The Seven Words of Jesus from the Cross are a wonderful commentary in his own words of Forgiveness, Salvation, Love, Atonement, Suffering, Victory and Security.
The Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ is the corner stone of our faith. It is the chosen symbol of the Christian faith. Thank God, we see it now as an empty cross because the seeming tragedy for good and apparent victory for evil was overturned by the power and purposes of God into the triumph of ...read more

It Is Finished
Produced by Beamer Films
This short film by Beamer Films is an ideal reflection for beginning or ending a Good Friday Service. It is a powerful and poignant depiction of the darkness, loneliness, and suffering endured by Jesus on the day that He died for humanity. A single acapella chorus of the hymn 'Jesus Paid It All' is sung in the darkness of that day at Golgotha.
