    Does His Cross Have Enemies? (Good Friday Sermon 2020)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 17, 2021
     | 1,959 views

    As Christians, when we talk about the cross we are talking about the place where the “lamb of God”, was slain to take away the sins of the world! (John 1:29). The Cross is where the sin of man, the wages of death and the fear of death were destroyed by God’s love once and for all.

    John 19:23-24  New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) 23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one for each soldier. They also took his tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top. 24 So they said to ...read more

    The death of Jesus is the central thought, intention, and focus of the classic "The Old Rugged Cross." The death of Jesus is a worthy topic for a worship song because the death of Jesus is central to our faith.

    Sermon # 14 - The Way Of The Cross Part 3 - Who Is Jesus To You? Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 427 views

    The people in Jesus’ day had various perception of who He was, but Peter the disciple of Jesus truly understood who Jesus was. The important question we need to ask ourselves is, “Who is Jesus to us personally?” The answer to this is vital both for now and for eternity.

    We read in Matthew 16:13, Now after coming into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus questioned His disciples, saying, "Who do men declare Me, the Son of man, to be?" (AFV) The above was the question that Jesus asked His disciples. Jesus had performed so many miraculous signs and ...read more

    "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!" The city was stirred, buzzing with anticipation. They thought their King had come to overthrow Rome. But Jesus came to conquer something much greater: death, sin, and the grave.

    Jesus Took Up Our Pain And Bore Our Suffering On The Cross.

     | 614 views

    Jesus went to Peter’s house and healed his mother-in-law. Then “Many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all who were ill.” Matthew then tells us that this fulfilled the prophecy that Jesus “took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.”

    The Bible records that Jesus went to Peter’s house and healed his mother-in-law. Then as evening came when it was dark, out of the shadows came many needy people. “Many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all who were ill.” Matthew then ...read more

    Though salvation is a free gift, Christ requires we deny ourselves, take up our Cross, and follow Him to be saved.

    Mark 8:34-38 (KJV) And when he had called the people [unto him] with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and ...read more

    I am painfully aware that there are many Christians who believe in Christ, but who are not free. How can we be free? We Christians need to experience the dynamic of the cross. Here we find that Jesus preformed three redemptive acts for us on the Cross

    COLOSSIANS 2: 13-15 THE CONQUERING CHRIST Would you consider yourself a free person? On what basis would you make your evaluation? What would you say makes a free person? These questions force us to define what we mean by freedom. Truly free people have four ingredients of liberty. 1. They ...read more
