     | 12,999 views

    This is part V in the series - 24. It is a first person narrative account from the perspective of the centurion at the cross. WARNING: It is graphic! The preaching idea: the evidence has been presented. What will you do with it?

    “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” Ultimately, that’s what the final 24 hours in Jesus’ life are about – God’s plan to redeem us to buy us back. We’ve heard from four characters who ...read more

    Who Killed Jesus?

    Contributed by James Buchanan on Mar 6, 2004
    based on 47 ratings
     | 6,272 views

    Dealing with the movie, "The Passion of the Christ", it deals with the question of who was really responsible for Jesus’ crucifixion.

    Today, I want to ask the question—who killed Jesus Christ? The answer is important, maybe more important than you realize. You see, there has been a lot of anti-Semitism because of the story of the passion, and there has been a lot of blame assessed to the Jewish people. In three days, a movie ...read more

    The Resolution We've Already Broken

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 18, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,915 views

    We try to be perfect, in the "spotless" sense. But perfection means completion, and is tied to meeting others’ needs rather than achieving our goals. Jesus’ sacrifice was his "finished" accomplishment.

    It happens every January. Just as sure as snow and the Super Bowl, with or without your favorite team, it always happens in January. Broken resolutions. Broken resolutions are the order of the day in the first month of the year. Those noble impulses we all have to do better and to be better – we ...read more

    Conquerors All

     | 3,468 views

    We are bored. Feelings shut down because we strive for security and for status, and even for spirituality, but nothing works. Only allegiance to the risen Christ provides fulfillment.

    Of all the diseases of our time, the most serious one is boredom. Of all the sicknesses this flesh is heir to, the most fatal is boredom. Not AIDS, not homicide, not heart disease nor cancer, but boredom. Oh, I don’t suppose any mortuary ever tagged a cadaver’s toe with "boredom". I don’t suppose ...read more

     | 3,585 views

    Ask why in today’s world. Make sure what you see and hear is part of what God wants. If it isn’t, don’t have anything to do with it. The Holy Spirit was given to help us with this. We can pass the test with Him.

    How many of you really take what the news says at face value? I don’t know about you but I don’t trust the news people any further than I can throw them. Something always seems fishy to me about how they report certain events and how they twist the angle of the news to suit their purpose. If they ...read more
