    The Way Of The Cross

    Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024
     | 1,012 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

    October 31, 2020 Last week’s sermon on Zacchaeus was to be the last in this series until my friend and I read the book, “Surprised by Love” by Elizabeth Viera Talbot on a recent vacation {thoughts on this sermon come from the chapter, “The Assurance”}. To what lengths would you go to ransom your ...read more

    Why The Cross?

    based on 194 ratings
     | 24,302 views

    Paul is adamant that the preaching of the Cross is central to the Gospel and what is should mean to believers.

    There’s a striking phrase in St Paul’s letter to the Galatians: “God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” (6:14). When we come across that sort of statement it can be helpful to ask the question, “Why did Paul write like that?” To ask ourselves, “Why the ...read more

    The Power Of The Cross Series

     | 2,414 views

    The power of the cross is so great that we've chosen to make this cross the emblem. We look at that cross and we don't just think about death, we think about life.

    I think there's something inside of all of our hearts that loves superheroes. I think that as I was growing up, I really liked the Old Testament Bible stories of Samson, David, Moses, and Joshua. Those are great stories. I can imagine the Jewish young men growing up, the disciples themselves ...read more

     | 5,866 views

    21st century Christians have made the cross into a showpiece of artwork, but the cross that Jesus died on was never intended to be a showpiece, or fine art.

    It Was Not A Pretty Cross Rev. Eric D. Smith Matt 27:22-35 22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. 23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be ...read more

    Tells how Jesus took symbols of death and terror, the sword and the cross, and changed them into symbols of life and love.

    “The Sword and the Cross” April 8, 2007 The Romans had perfected execution by crucifixion to an art. It was carried out in such a way as to inflict a maximum amount of pain on the condemned prior to death. One of the objectives was to strike terror into the enemies of Roman.

     | 25,663 views

    The shame of the cross is frequently forgotten by modern-day Christians. Crucifixion was the ultimate in insult and public contempt for a criminal. It is impossible for us even to begin to understand the horror of the cross to the sinless soul of the i

    The Joy of the Cross Hebrews 12:2 Intro We have heard many sermons on the sufferings of Christ on the cross. Words do not have the capacity to communicate the suffering Christ experienced as he died for our sins. The loneliness of the cross was terrible. Jesus was forsaken by his friends. In ...read more

    The Cost Of The Cross

    There is a cost involved in everything we do. It even cost us something to follow Jesus and yes, there is a cost even for The Cross

    Introduction: Counting the Cost Some things in life are easy to say but harder to live out. I remember a young firefighter in training. He was passionate, excited, and couldn’t wait to get out there and fight fires. But during a live burn drill, the flames got hotter than he expected, the smoke ...read more

    The dark road to the Cross was full of rejection and pain, but and Jesus emerged on the other side of the cross into the brilliance of resurrection life! This road is also the pattern for every disciple.

    The Road to the Cross Luke 18:31-34 by David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION Communicating clearly is always a challenge for us. When we use the wrong word or mix up our words the result is often humorous.

    The women who were closest to our Lord reveal to us what the value of the cross is.

    Near the Cross of Christ John 19:16-30 How do we respond to such a dreadful story? Three reactions to Jesus: Pilate: Regretful sorrow. Chief priests: An offense.(v. 21) Soldiers:Get what they can take.(v. 23-24) Women: Faithful until the end. (v. 25) I.Near the cross, you will find loving ...read more
