    A Torn Curtain Series

    Contributed by Mike Gilbert on Mar 17, 2008
    based on 44 ratings
     | 24,398 views

    Significant truths we can learn and apply to our lives from the tearing of the temple veil at the moment of Jesus’ death.

    *INTRO>In 1966, Alfred Hitchcock directed a Cold War era mystery / thriller movie starring Paul Newman and Julie Andrews, a movie entitled, “The Torn Curtain.” The movie was not one of Hitchcock’s better-known films, as few people paid much attention to it. God understands when much expense has ...read more

    Crucifixion

    Contributed by Scott Bradford on Mar 17, 2008
    based on 11 ratings
     | 6,791 views

    A Good Friday sermon as part of the lenten series Words of Lent. (This sermon quotes several historical perspectives and descriptions of crucifixion)

    Four simple words are found in this text: “And they crucified him”. -- "And they crucified him!" Not very descriptive really, considering the severity of the punishment. Obviously, they were words that were meant for an entirely different audience. And audience, who is Jesus’ day, knew exactly what ...read more

    Urgent Atonement Series

    The cross is hideous. It’s not a pretty thing we hang on our walls. It’s not a fine piece of jewelry hanging from our neck. It is the most brutal instrument of death ever conceived by the cruel mind of man.

    For the past few weeks, we’ve been looking at the events of the last few days of Jesus’ life on earth. With each of those events, we’ve seen a sense of urgency. Each week we have seen an example of urgency. But this morning is different. In this morning’s passage, our Lord shows a sense of ...read more

    A frank discussion about what Jesus meant when He asked why God had forsaken Him. A sermon about pain.

    Matthew 27:45-46 – Why Have You Forsaken Me? I had planned initially to preach tonight on the miracles of Calvary. Several things very out of the ordinary happened on the day Jesus died, and I had planned to look at them. There was the 3 hours of darkness, from noon until 3 in the afternoon. ...read more

     | 9,456 views

    In our text we see the singularly most important and impressive truth of the resurrection is a cemetery filled with graves which men were powerless to close. These graves were opened at the time that Jesus died; but those inside the graves would not come

    EASTER: THE GRAVES THAT COULDN’T BE SHUT TEXT: MATTHEW 27:50-54 INTRODUCTION: Let me begin by reviewing the sermon that I gave two weeks ago titled “Was Jesus Crucified On Good-Friday?” If you still have your chart, please take a look as I remind us of the timeline. We learned from Lev. 23 ...read more

     | 13,095 views

    After three hours on the cross something amazing happened. The Bible tells us that, “from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land.” That would be from noon until 3:00 PM in our way of keeping time. It was a deep darkness

    A CRY FROM THE DARK Matthew 27:32-54 BY FRANK LAY Jesus spoke three times during His first three hours on the cross. First, he prayed for those who were crucifying him. “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” The tense of the words indicate that Jesus prayed this prayer over ...read more

    The Fourth Word: Anguish Series

    based on 28 ratings
     | 28,738 views

    The fourth word that Jesus uttered on the cross was a word of anguish addressed to the Father. It is found in Matthew 27:46.

    Introduction It is often profitable to study the last words of dying men. Many sermons have been preached on the last words of Jesus. As he hung on the cross on that first Good Friday he uttered seven short sentences or phrases. We usually call these the “seven last words of Christ.” For the ...read more

    This sermon looks at the physical signs combined with the final words of Christ on the cross - and what we can witness from them.

    April 14, 2006 Matthew 27:45-54 From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?”—which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” When some of those standing there heard ...read more

    Alone!

     | 8,225 views

    Sin leaves us deserted, helpless, destitute, abandoned, without hope and without God! When Jesus carried our sins on the cross, a fellowship was broken that had always existed. Jesus was ALONE!

    Alone? Loneliness is a terrible thing! It can attack anyone…even in a crowded place. Jesus understands the feelings and the fear that come from loneliness. Today we are going to look at the most lonely time in Jesus’ life. It took place on the cross. Matthew’s gospel paints the portrait of ...read more
