    Paul concludes his Epistle by summarizing his arguments and by glorying in the Cross, which makes us free.

    Free at last! Galatians is all about freedom…but if we’re not careful we can abuse it. Freedom is not a license to sin. Nor is it a lack of responsibility. New Hampshire’s motto is “Live free or die.” Our motto as Christians should be “Live holy or ...read more

    This message focuses on four gifts given to each of us because of Jesus' finished work on the cross. This material was inspired by "Search for Significance" written by Robert McGee who shared the four answers from Jesus to false beliefs.

    Because of the Cross I Corinthians 1:18 CHCC – September 8, 2013 (Outlline inspired by Robert McGee, "The Search for Significance") INTRODUCTION: The God of the Bible is the complete opposite of the kinds of gods human beings tend to invent.

    Only God can stand against the evil that humans beings have brought into his world. he's done this by sending Jesus to become one of us, taking our place, becoming our substitute in facing God's anger and allowing humanity to be remade in God's image.

    Why the Cross A Sermon series based on the book of the same name by Dr Leon Morris I trust no-one here would doubt that the cross is central to the Christian faith. Without the cross Christianity becomes just another religion, emptied of its power. The cross is central to our life together; central ...read more

    As the farmer must suffer to attain the joy of harvest, so we must embrace our crosses in life to attain the joy of union with the Father.

    Tuesday, March 3, 2009 Word and Suffering I always encourage my students to plant gardens. The reasons are many, but one of the biggest is that one cannot understand Scripture without knowing something about agriculture.

    What varied thoughts and feelings moved the hearts of those who stood that day beholding the cross of Calvary!

    It is the cross of Christ which is the object at once of His shame and His glory. This classic sermon by A. B. Simpson looks first at the marks of the Lord Jesus, and then at their reproduction in His followers.

    "From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus" (Gal. 6:17). The word marks in this text is translated by Rotherham, "brand marks." The world describes a mark that has been branded into the flesh, and suggests the idea of the cruel practice of certain ...read more

    "If the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls" (Ex. 12:4). The Paschal lamb was God’s special type of Jesus Christ, "the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world." The lamb selected for the Hebrew ...read more

    In life there are so many different forces pulling on us. We are pulled one way by fear, and another by self-righteousness. But thank God that the Cross is always at the center, and nothing is more powerful than the pull of God’s mercy and grace.

    Mark 10:17-22; Mark 10:23-31 This week we are going to be looking at our Gospel lesson. I wanted to preach on the Gospel last week (maybe you wished I did too), but I held off, because this week and last week’s reading need to go together. So really, we are going to be looking at both lessons ...read more

    Cross Examination Mark 15:21-39 Introduction It was time for Jesus to be crucified. He had been beaten with fists, had his hair pulled out, He had been flogged to the point of death.

    “foolishness of preaching” does not mean foolish preaching, the meaning here is, --to the minds of the so called intelligent thinkers, it was “foolishness” God is not calling it foolishness, He is pointing out that these great thinkers said it was foolish

    THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS 1 Corinthians 1:18-24 4-11-09 Today I want to talk for a little while about “the preaching of the cross”, about the crucifixion of Jesus there on the cross of Calvary, so I want you to pay close attention. Listen as I read today’s ...read more

    The message of the cross is salvation through the power of God.

    Text: “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God” (1 Corinthians 1:18).

    A consideration of the power of the Cross; those for whom is is God’s power, those for whom it is folly. Shows what God did for us when Christ died on th Cross

    I want to turn this morning to look at the passage from 1 Corinthians chapter 1, which places before us the power of the Cross, and as we journey through Lent toward Holy Week it is surely fitting to do so. The Cross is central to our faith as Christians- but I ask, do we always know and appreciate ...read more
