    Jesus Values Our Humanity; "I Thirst” Series

    Jesus started his earthly ministry hungry and ended his earthly ministry thirsty. As we return to Jesus on the cross we come to what may be the easiest of the seven words to understand. Or is it?

    Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. (John 19:28-29) Let me open today’s message by asking you a ...read more

    Pentecost 16: We find ourselves on the short end of a spiritual battle. But our help comes from God. He changes the tide of the battle and wins the victory for us through Jesus’ Cross.

    The most scared that I can ever remember being happened when I was about 4 years old. My dad had taken me with him to the Mexican border city of Reynosa. He had gone there to make a purchase. I remember him parking in front of a store that seemed very busy. He needed to go inside and so he asked me ...read more

    I can wager all my GOOD WORKS against the WORK OF CHRIST on the Cross. Even when my chips are down I can throw the DICE OF DEATH on the chance that I will win.

    Part 5 - Genesis 18:16-33 - THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL! A person recently said to me as they were dying that the Bible was just a series of myths and stories, and if I want to, I can choose to live my life assuming that it is. I can choose to treat heaven like a GAME OF CHANCE and the Bible as ...read more

    God Wants a Perfect People My mom tells the story of a little neighbor boy who for Christmas received a cowboy outfit. It had a cowboy hat, vest, chaps and boots. As soon as he opened up his presents he put them on and then ran to the full length mirror in his parents’ bedroom. He stood there ...read more

    Our hearts need to be convicted again of our sin of placing Christ on the cross. Your sins put Him there, but you can be forgiven in the same matter that the people on Pentecost were forgiven.

    RELIVING PENTECOST: THE CONVICTION ACCOUNT THEME: RESPONSING TO THE CONVICTION OF OUR SINS. TEXT: ACTS 2:36-41 Year ago there was a large controversy over a movie. The fighting was intensive. The movie was called the “Passion of the Christ.” There were numerous charges against the movie. ...read more

    Happy New Year’s Eve! As we look back to our past and the resolutions that we haven’t fulfilled, and look forward expectantly, we look to the forgiveness found in the cross of Christ.

    In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Three In One who was our hope this year and is our hope for eternity to come. Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, For many of us, our New Years resolutions seem to resemble carbon dating – where we can establish the date ...read more

    Many Christian’s struggle with a proper understanding of God’s grace. God is fully pleased with what Jesus did on the cross and if we receive Him as Lord He is pleased with us as well.

    Lk 9:23 There are a number of times- Jesus says believe in me, but there are more times where He says follow me. True believing always results in following. Are you a fan of Jesus or a follower of Jesus? Fan- an enthusiastic admirer. Jesus-looking for more than bumper sticker Christians. Jesus ...read more

    Jesus declares that He is the light of the world. As He approaches a blind man, the disciples want to know who has sinned, but Jesus is busy with the Father’s work knowing that the night of the cross is approaching.

    Night is Coming John- major theme- Jesus Christ is the incarnate Word. He is God- He left heaven/took on- body of a man. He who was all God became all man-remained all God Jesus- made seven statements that speak of who He is- I AM the Bread of life I AM the Light of the world I AM the Door of the ...read more

    Answering Why

    Contributed by Martin Wiles on Jan 27, 2013
     | 5,011 views

    In tragic times, we are tempted to ask why. The question itself is not wrong-after all Jesus asked it of his Father while on the cross, but it may not be the most appropriate question or lead to the best end.

    Introduction: A. When tragedy strikes, we either grow bitter toward God or draw closer to him. B. Can God prevent tragedy? Yes. Why doesn’t he always? We can’t answer that. C. God is imminent and transcendent, but he’s not always imminent when we want him to be. D. As the writer ...read more

    Proper 15 (A) We rejected God, in the Garden of Eden and at the Cross. But He has selected us. Therefore we live confidently knowing that salvation is based in His election, not our selection.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Rejected and Selected” It seemed unreal this week, when the news broke that actor Robin Williams had died, a shock which reverberated again ...read more

    Atonement

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 8, 2016

     | 6,596 views

    The Atonement for our sins provided by Jesus on the cross is a once and for all fulfillment of the Old Testament atonement which was temporary. Christ's atonement is pivotal in understanding salvation by grace and faith alone in Jesus Christ.

    The cross is the logo of Christianity - the cross was the great intersection of God with humanity! One of the great provisions of the cross is the atonement. Let's read about atonement in Romans 3:21-26 (Please open your Bibles and follow along as I read from God's Holy Word) I was looking online ...read more

    It took the sacrificial love of Jesus as expressed on the cross for people to come back to God. This change will provide us with the strength, wisdom, courage, love and other resources that we need to deal with our problems.

    Have you ever had a problem that was so bad that you couldn’t solve it yourself? Did you wish that the problem would just go away? Well, the apostle Paul has the answer in Colossians 2:8-23. He argues that the cross is the answer to our deepest needs. It took the sacrificial love of Jesus ...read more

    Just as the early apostles were called to give an account for preaching and healing in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, it's time for us to Stand and let all know we are people of the Cross.

    Scapegoats

    Jesus turns that human sin on its head by becoming the scapegoat, by taking all sin onto His divine shoulders and letting the Romans and Jewish leaders nail His sacred Body to the cross.

    Tuesday of 2nd Week in Easter The great literary critic and philosopher René Noël Théophile Girard, was baptized in France with names that speak of Christmas, his birthday, and the love of God. He gave us the idea that all our desires are borrowed from other people, and that all ...read more
