    Why The Cross?

    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

    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

    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.

     | 25,801 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

     | 528 views

    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

     | 3,469 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

    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.
