    Each opportunity we have we need to take advantage and do what we can. The harvest fields are great and they are white, Are we ready to apply great effort for the cross? How sad the words: LOST OPPORTUNITIES?

    OPPORTUNITY By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (This is a two or three part lesson.) Opportunity: to take advantage of suitable situations to accomplish something, the chance to get something done, chance to advance or make progress, TEXT: Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore ...read more

    What Will You Do With What You Have Heard-Easter Sunday

    Contributed by Walter Troup on Apr 21, 2019
     | 5,156 views

    Many people have heard the Bible story of Jesus being put on the cross, then three days later be raised from the grave. What was the purpose of all of this? And once the purpose is revealed, what will you do with it?

    This weekend we are celebrating Easter. Now the word Easter is not found in the Bible, but we know this day as Resurrection Day. This is the day in which we celebrate Jesus being raised from the dead three days later after he was put to death on a cross. As Christians, we know that this day is ...read more

    The Penalty Of Sin Is Death

    Contributed by James Linders on Jun 28, 2015
     | 3,815 views

    The world was created blameless, and SO was heaven. Through man's disobedience to God sin and death entered the world, and Satan led a third of the angels in heaven to rebel against God. The ONLY solution to THIS tragedy was CHRIST dying on the cross.

    Genesis 2:16-17. The LORD God said to man: “You are FREE to eat from ANY tree in the garden, but you must NOT eat from the tree of knowledge, of good and evil, for when you EAT from it, you will CERTAINLY die. You will die BEFORE the day is over.” While Adam and Eve were walking ...read more

    The Trial And Torture Of The King Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 12,379 views

    Before Jesus reached the cross, He faced unspeakable torture at the hands of the Roman soldiers. There are accounts of soldiers flogging prisoners to death. The point of flogging was to bring them close to death so the crucifixion time would be shortened.

    INTRODUCTION Easter is three weeks from today. We’re counting down the last 94 hours before the disciples discovered the empty tomb. I’m calling this “94 Hours that Changed the World.” We’ve already walked with Jesus from the last Supper to the Garden of Gethsemane ...read more

    Three Easter Questions You Must Answer Series

    based on 5 ratings
     | 30,780 views

    Mary Magdalene was one of the eyewitnesses of the resurrection. She was the last one at the cross and the first one at the tomb. She had to answer three Easter questions that day, and these are the same three questions that each of us must answer today.

    INTRODUCTION There’s something exciting about a countdown. As a boy growing up in LA, lower Alabama, I can remember my family crowded around a small black-and-white television set as the camera was focused on a launch pad in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The year was 1962 and Astronaut John Glenn ...read more

    The Call To Discipleship

    Contributed by Vernon Price on Apr 11, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,246 views

    That is why the church of God must return to the preaching of the Cross. Yes, it offends. Yes, it alienates. Yes it is a stumbling block to many, and yes, it is sheer foolishness to others. But to those who believe, "It is the power of God unto salvation"

    The Call To Discipleship Imagine in your mind that you are a news reporter for station W-O-R-D in Jerusalem. You have been assigned the task of following some new religious fanatic who has appeared on the scene and seriously shaken the status quo. Not much of a Jew yourself, this whole scene ...read more

    Gaining inspiration and courage from the words of Jesus on the cross. In our world of darkness, Jesus calls us to be light-bearers. It is through our trials and disappointments that we are enabled to step in among those who are struggling and hurting.

    WORDS Luke 23:34 You are leaving the church building and walking to your car in the parking lot. Adults are visiting and children are laughing and playing as you and your family walk by. Then suddenly you hear shots ring out and you see three, four, and five … maybe six people drop to the ...read more

    The Mount Of Olives – The Priority Of The Great Commission (12/12) Series

    Contributed by Eduardo (Eddie) Fernandes on Oct 12, 2020
     | 2,330 views

    The urgent task and maximum priority of the Church is the fulfillment of our Lord’s final instruction. The Way of the Cross does not end at the crucifixion or with the resurrection. It ends 50 days after Passover with the Great Commission. We bleed evangelism.

    Message by Eddie Fernandes (Click series title) Introduction We end a 12-week journey today. We have been in a 3-month study on the Stations of the Cross. We did not follow the traditional 14 stations. We will also not end at Calvary, as most traditions do. Let me remind you of the 11 places we ...read more

    Ackowledge Your King Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Apr 10, 2022
     | 2,338 views

    Palm Sunday reminds us that the message of the cross, the message of salvation, must be set in the context of Jesus being king. And we must recognize Jesus as the king he is, not the king we might like him to be.

    In a typical year about 3.5 million people visit Jerusalem. It’s one of the most historic cities in the world. It has been continuously inhabited since about 1,800 B.C. So it’s been worth visiting for a VERY long time! But in the time of Jesus, there were certain times of the year when Jews had ...read more

    God still places His mantle on faithful people who submit at God still places His mantle on faithful people who submit at Gilgal, seek at Bethel, persevere through Jericho, and cross Jordan transformed.

    Every culture understands the power of symbolic clothing. When a judge puts on the black robe, authority follows.

    Misplaced Expectations For The First Easter? Series

     | 372 views

    The hopes and expectations of those first disciples seemed to die when Jesus died on Calvary's cross. But when two disciples walked back to their homes, they received something they didn't expect at all!

    Misplaced Expectations For The First Easter? Introduction: The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ was one of the most significant events in all of history. It goes without saying that there were several different expectations when this event took place, depending on each person’s point of ...read more

    It is great to celebrate easter but to fully appreciate the joy of the season it is important to understand why Jesus gave his life for us. The greatest miracle of all is the resurrection but how could be celebrate the resurrection without walking the way of the cross?

    All over the world Church attendance is high on Easter; people who are not normally seen in Church come to celebrate the Christian joy and the hope of resurrection. This is a good thing, and I am glad that all of you are here this morning, but there cannot be an Easter without a Good ...read more

    The Cost Of Discipleship

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 7, 2025
     | 833 views

    Discipleship is not just about following Christ; it comes with a cost. Jesus made it clear that those who follow Him must be ready to deny themselves, take up their cross, and prioritise His kingdom above all else.

    THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Luke 14:25-33 Supporting Texts: Matthew 16:24-26, Philippians 3:7-8, Mark 10:28-30, 2 Timothy 3:12 INTRODUCTION: Discipleship is not just about following Christ; it comes with a cost.

    Israel quickly went from victory/ gratitude to grumbling. Moses prayed and God showed him a piece of wood (symbolic to Christ's Cross) which when thrown into the bitter waters made them sweet.

     | 1,072 views

    "I thirst" is a statement from the cross that was only recorded by John in his gospel. I believe there were at least three reasons why God inspired John to record that statement. This sermon explores those three reasons.

    Last week, we explored the fourth statement from the cross, where Jesus cried out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" This cry revealed the spiritual agony Jesus experienced as He took on the sins of the world. Today, we will focus on the fifth statement, recorded only by John in his ...read more
