    The dying thief realized his sin nailed him to the cross. But he also realized that his sin nailed Jesus to the cross.

    Sermon # 14 - The Way Of The Cross Part 3 - Who Is Jesus To You? Series

     | 393 views

    The people in Jesus’ day had various perception of who He was, but Peter the disciple of Jesus truly understood who Jesus was. The important question we need to ask ourselves is, “Who is Jesus to us personally?” The answer to this is vital both for now and for eternity.

    We read in Matthew 16:13, Now after coming into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus questioned His disciples, saying, "Who do men declare Me, the Son of man, to be?" (AFV) The above was the question that Jesus asked His disciples. Jesus had performed so many miraculous signs and ...read more

    Mountain Moving Faith “Mt. Calvary” Luke 23:33-43 Have you ever wondered why Luke and the other gospel writers don’t go into the details of the crucifixion? Luke only used four words in v. 33. He wrote, “There they crucified him.” The answer is simple. Nearly ...read more

    Christ’s ministry on the cruel Cross began with the forgiveness of sin, with a plea for forgiveness, the full and free forgiveness for a world of lost sinners ruined by the fall.

    LUKE 23:32-34 [JESUS’ LAST DAY SERIES] FORGIVENESS, THE FIRST WORD OF THE CROSS [Isaiah 53:1-9] Mankind here is caught in the act of doing their worst.

    Only in his fifth statement from the cross did Jesus refer to his physical suffering. In one word, he says to us: 1. God can relate to our suffering, God can redeem our suffering, and God can carry us through our suffering, if we will let him.

    When Bad Things Happen to Good People Seven Last Words from the Cross Part 5 * John 19:28-29 Listen to the words of Ray Pritchard as we use our holy imagination to set the scene. He writes, “It was going to be another hot day. You could tell it early in the morning. It was not yet 9:00 and already ...read more

    This section of Philippians is the “manual” - the ultimate example of the character of God, which God wants to reproduce in His people. And that ultimate example is Jesus.

    The Manual for the Mindset   Philippians 2:1-11 Introduction Tom Johnson’s job is writing technical manuals and though it is an exhaustive process that takes a lot of time, his comment about his own work is: “I don't expect anyone will ever read it.” How many of us have a drawer in ...read more

    A sermon built around Paul Harvey's phrase: "Now you know the rest of the story." It looks at the story of Adam and Eve, our part in the story, and Jesus'.

    Today’s text is an interesting one. It doesn’t start at verse 26. It even doesn’t start at verse one of the chapter, nor does it even begin in chapter 22 on Maundy Thursday. It doesn’t even begin at chapter one, verse one of Luke. We’re not getting the whole story this morning. It is like ...read more

    Addressing The Realities Of Life Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 23, 2015
     | 7,198 views

    Being human is generally a good thing. The temptation in our day is to manipulate or engineer human nature and deny its realities. But a church is about real people, redeemed by Jesus, but fully human — even more human — because of that redemption.

    Addressing the Realities of Life (I Timothy 5:1-16) 1. Some people have a sanitized view of life. Life, however, is often less glamourous. 'Cash, check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a ...read more

    There were several people passing by or standing near the cross, but what they saw depended on what they were looking for when they looked at Jesus.

    Near The Cross Luke 23:26-49 Maundy Thursday is the beginning of the process that takes Jesus to the cross. Jesus was crucified in a very public place, which means many people saw what was taking place. Where do you think you would have fit in that day based on what you think about ...read more
