    How Do I Take Up My Cross?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Mar 28, 2009
    based on 14 ratings
     | 12,201 views

    This sermon looks at both what it means, and also what it does not mean, for us to take up our cross for Jesus.

    Jesus said to his disciples and to the crowd following him, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (8:34). It’s hard for us to hear those words in the same way that those following Jesus heard it. The context is that Peter has just recognised that ...read more

    What will you do with Jesus, who is called the Christ?

    I like to have a good crowd on Sunday morning. Much of what we do as a church in done in the effort to enlarge our Sunday crowd. In fact, some accuse the American church of being so focused on drawing crowds that we’re tempted to water down the truth. Contrast that with Jesus. Whenever we ...read more

    Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Aug 31, 2011
     | 8,042 views

    When Jesus died on the cross he said, "It is finished" meaning in our language today game over. Jeus by dieing defeated many foes such as condemnation, death, and the law.

    "Game Over” It is finished." (John 19:30). Well as I was preparing for tonight’s sermon I just could not get off my mind the sermon I preached this morning about the game between WVU and Marshall. I just kept hoping that the game would be over before I come to church. I just kept ...read more
