Did God Turn His Back On Jesus On The Cross?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jun 19, 2023

In many churches today, it is said that while Jesus was on the Cross, the Holy God poured out His wrath and turned His back, broke fellowship, and abandoned Jesus because He can't look upon sin.

Crossing The 'red Sea Moments' For Deliverance

Contributed by Antonio Manaytay on Oct 25, 2025

The crossing of the Red Sea was not just an escape from Egypt — it was the crossing of deliverance. It was the line between bondage and freedom, between slavery and salvation, between despair and destiny.

When Moses and the Israelites stood before the Red Sea, they were trapped between two impossibilities — an angry army behind them and a vast sea before them. Yet in that moment of desperation, God made a way where there was no way. The crossing of the Red Sea was not just an escape from Egypt — ...read more

The Power And Wisdom Of The Cross - 1 Corinthians 1:18 Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Nov 15, 2024

The cross is central to the Christian faith. Yet, for many, it seems absurd, irrelevant, or offensive. Paul’s declaration in 1 Corinthians 1:18 divides humanity into two groups: those who see the cross as foolishness and those who recognise it as the power of God.

The Power and Wisdom of the Cross - 1 Corinthians 1:18 Key Verse: “The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:18, NLT) Introduction: Transformed by Truth The cross is central to the ...read more

We Share In Christ's Pain On The Cross

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 28, 2025

when someone is murdered, it catches all of us up short, and when the violence is carried out on children, especially as they are praying on the second day of school, no words can ever suffice to bring us back to anything like normalcy.

Twenty-second Sunday in Course 2025 Humility, yes. I suspect that many preachers in this country have been humbled by the recent events at a Catholic church and school in Minneapolis last week.

The Fourth Word From The Cross: "Eloi, Eloi, Lema Sabachthani?" Series

Contributed by Ravin Caldera on Apr 18, 2017

This is a reflection on the forth word from the cross, which is a very difficult passage for exposition. These words give a deep expression of faith ("my God, my God"), universal cry for justice ("why") and, words of deep mystery ("have forsaken me").

And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Mark 15:34). As Mark stated, about Jewish ninth hour or in our time three o'clock there was darkness over the whole land—out of darkness and despair ...read more
