    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,142 views

    If you want to be free from the pressure to perform and impress others, don’t seek to impress others with yourself. Instead, just be impressed with what Christ has done for you on the cross.

    Once upon a time an old man and his son were on their way to market. The old man was leading a donkey and the boy was walking behind when they went through the first village. There, the people called the old man a fool for not riding the donkey, so he climbed up on the animal’s back. In the second ...read more

    If we want to be free from the pressure to perform, we cannot seek to impress others with ourselves. Instead, we must be impressed only with what Christ did for us on the cross.

    Lent 4: The Lord has prescribed the method whereby we must be saved. It might seem odd - maybe crazy - like gazing at a snake on a pole... or a Savior on a Cross.

    Folks were fussing and griping. They were angry and upset and - as is almost always the case under these circumstances - they began to criticize. Soon the words became heated. The harshness of the comments spoken was only thinly veiled. The angry words spoken were like painful, barbed darts – ...read more

    The Way Of The Cross

    Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024
     | 943 views

    In today’s Gospel reading, Peter responds to Jesus’ announcement that the Messiah will have to suffer and die by denying the cross. Peter is in essence denying the truth of this teaching – that the Messiah must suffer and by extension, his disciples.

    Last week we heard about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness right after his Baptism. That’s the way it feels sometimes – you just make a decision and then things happen that immediately bring your decision into question. This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more

    The death of Jesus was pre-arranged as to when, where, and how He would die for us. This message describes how those events were filled exactly.

    I owe this message to the teachings of Gary Johnson and thank him for sharing his vast knowledge. “Destination - The Cross” The other day I was reading letters to God from little kids and I felt this one was ...read more

     | 3,360 views

    You may be have been foolish at the cross by the mockery of your life and lips and your actions. These people get so close to the cross but choose to deny the blood it shed.

    How do you view the Cross? It is the grandest single chapter in the entire Bible. And at the center of the Christian faith stands the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We sometimes think that Easter should be celebrated only once a year. But actually every Sunday—the first day of each ...read more
