Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Samuel 13:8-14; 1 Samuel 15:1-28 Supporting Texts: Numbers 20:7-12, Deuteronomy 28:15, Ezekiel 34:2-10, James 3:1, Hebrews 12:25 INTRODUCTION: Leadership in God’s kingdom carries great responsibility.

     | 309 views

    God still speaks. His prophets are still available. His Spirit still leads. But will we listen? Or will we, like Ahab and Ahaziah, choose voices that entertain but cannot save? Let us always remember—there IS a God in Israel.

    Do you believe that there are people in the world who are lost and don’t even know it? The vast majority of these people are very religious.

    The Messages Of The Three Crosses On Calvary

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jun 19, 2001
    based on 95 ratings
     | 39,826 views

    Each cross on calvary carries a message: we see a cross of redemption, a cross of rejection, and a cross of repentance.

    Picture in your mind one of the drawings or paintings that you have seen portraying Christ’s crucifixion. If the artist based his or her rendering of Calvary on the Bible’s account you probably saw three crosses in the picture. Although there were three crosses I am assuming one was probably more ...read more
