Jesus From Baby To Boy

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jan 21, 2010

Some people think that Jesus never knew sickness or pain until the cross but that thinking is contrary to scripture. Jesus knows full well what it means to be human.

Judgement From The Rude Throne

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 16, 2022

His first words from the cross was the judgement of the people who had unjustly put Him on that rude throne: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

Christ the King 2022 Those of you who are very familiar with the psalm we just sang, Psalm 122, may realize that the Church omits the last few verses of the prayer today.

The Major Events At The Cross Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 27, 2024

John was an eyewitness of the crucifixion, and he closed his account of the crucifixion by saying “the man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true…that you also may believe.”

The most significant event in history is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. We are saved by His death. Because He died, we live. But there IS a condition. We have to believe, and it’s the necessity for belief that John stressed throughout his gospel. He was an eyewitness of the crucifixion, and ...read more

The Law Removes The Offense Of The Cross Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 5, 2020

The apostle was accused by the false teachers of teaching circumcision in some places, and they said they were teaching no more than he taught. Or it may have been inferred from the fact (which was undoubtedly true) that Paul in general complied with the customs of the Jews when he was with them.

The Cross And The Forsaken Saviour

Contributed by Bright Adeyeye on Mar 29, 2021

How can it be? How can the Saviour be forsaken by those He came to save? How can the Father forsake His own Son?

Our Focus The Cross

Contributed by Neil Stich on Aug 3, 2012
