    The metal nails were not strong enough hold Jesus to the cross. Instead, the invisible nails of His love, the invisible nails of His loyalty, and the invisible nails of our sin held Jesus on the cross.

    Christ: Our Saviour And Our Example

    A short talk for Good Friday. I am deeply challenged by Peter reminding us that when suffering for his faith, Jesus did not retaliate and made no threats; and we’re called to follow his example!

    When I was at school there was no such thing as an anti-bullying policy, and I think I was on the receiving end of a large amount of abuse, mainly due to my surname, Pidgeon, and my painfully thin physique. As I look back I think I eventually adopted my own personal anti-bullying policy and it went ...read more

    The fiery serpent raised up by Moses in the wilderness is one of the most striking types of the cross of Christ in all of scripture.

    "Then they set out from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the people became impatient because of the journey. The people spoke against God and Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we ...read more

    Three Crosses On A Hill: A Study In Evangelism

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 6, 2022
     | 1,480 views

    When we preach about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins upon the cross, we forget that there were also two men crucified on crosses next to Him. Each man had the opportunity to look to Jesus for grace and mercy. Their response determined their eternal destiny.

    The agony of the crucifixion and the final hours of Jesus are recorded in all four gospels, each written with their own unique perspective of what happened that dark day (Matthew 27; Mark 15; Luke 23; John 19). Each one tells of the jeering, mockery, contempt, and seething hatred towards the ...read more

    We can see how quickly satan can attack. In a short time Peter went from confessing Jesus to rebuking Jesus. Jesus teaches us how we can be on guard against our wiley foe as well as how to live with purpose for Him.

    (see also Mark 8:27-30) for context. Dear beloved in Christ... In our Gospel reading there is much to grab our attention as Jesus is in process of predicting his death and resurrection. We hear about how Jesus must suffer many things and that we are called to take up our cross and follow Jesus. ...read more

    In Romans 15:1-13, Paul encourages all of us to follow the example of our Lord in putting the good of others before our own interest, and he encourages us to seek a unity that will enable us to effectively praise God with one heart and one voice.
