     | 7,314 views

    A message sharing the significance of the cross of Christ.

    The Cross Of Christ Luke 23:32-33 "And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left." Gal 6:14 ...read more

    Why do evil people seem to prosper, while good people suffer? Is there any justice? Let’s realize that payday is coming, for good and evil. Let’s discuss carrying our cross in Matthew 16:21-28.

    The Cross Of The Christ Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Sep 13, 2022
     | 1,192 views

    The cross of Jesus Christ glorifies God—by 1) Revealing God’s righteousness (Romans 3:25b–26), by 2) Exalting God’s grace (Romans 3:27–28), by 3) Revealing God’s universality (Romans 3:29–30), and by 4) Confirming God’s law (Romans 3:31).

    Romans 3:25b–31. 25 (whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith). This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the ...read more

     | 1,899 views

    The Crucifixion of Jesus is at the centre of the Message of the Gospel.

    The first Easter morning 2000 years ago must have begun with sadness. I can imagine the followers of Jesus waking up and remembering what had happened, recalling the horror of Friday, remembering that their friend was dead and thinking their dreams were shattered. But then a shout, He’s alive, the ...read more

    Glory In The Cross

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 30, 2022
     | 2,271 views

    When it comes to salvation, can we boast about anything? The Apostle Paul chose to boast about just one thing, and it had nothing to do with himself.

    The book of Galatians was written by the Apostle Paul to combat false teaching that the Galatian Christians had believed. Paul says to them, “who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth?” The Judaizers were the culprits, stating that circumcision was essential for salvation along with ...read more

    Purity By The Cross Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Oct 5, 2022
     | 1,965 views

    How do we get pure? How can we relate to God? We find out in Hebrews 9:14. That purity comes by the cross. Nothing can compare to the power of Christ in cleaning up a life.

    God is pure. He is like the snow on the top of the Himalayan mountains. We are un-pure. We are like the mud puddle on the road. You can’t mix the two together. The mud puddle water will contaminate the Himalayan snow. Then how do we get pure? How can we relate to God? We find out in Hebrews 9:14. ...read more

    The Cross-Over.

    In order to leave the land of Egypt, Israel had to cross over the Red Sea. In order to enter the promised land, these Hebrews had to cross over the Jordan River.

    The Cross-Over. Joshua 3:14-17NKJV Before you can physically crossover an obstacle, or possibly a barrier, you have to be willing to leave familiar. For if the familiar is holding you down, it’s time to crossover. You've heard it said, “People who live in the mountains, wish they lived near ...read more

    Do you think this title would be popular? Not at all, we all like to wear the cross as a chain but not carry it in our daily lives.

    Carry the cross Matthew 10:38 "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. Do you think this title would be popular?

    The Cross of Jesus, and our cross.

    THE WAY OF THE CROSS. Matthew 16:21-28. MATTHEW 16:21-23. When Jesus began to openly teach the necessity of the Cross, Peter - of all people - took Him aside, and began to rebuke Him. This brought to the lips of Jesus what is perhaps the sternest rebuke that He ever gave. Jesus' rebuke of ...read more

    A Sermon for A Good Friday Service combines three of the Gospel accounts into one for scripture reading at the beginning.

    INTRODUCTION: Beginning first with Matthew 27:33-44 New International Version (NIV) 33 They came to a place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 34 There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink ...read more

    The Question Of The Cross

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 4, 2023
     | 983 views

    Everyone who was there, at the cross, had a question, except the ones who were sure they already had the answers.. . What’s going on? What am I doing here? Who is that man, anyway? What am I going to do?

    Were you there when they crucified my Lord? They were all people just like us, you know. It might just have well have been we who were there, not them. It would all have happened just the same. Were you one of the ones that hadn’t really been paying attention? Were you one of the curious ...read more

     | 1,526 views

    There are many shadows of the Cross in the Old Testament. It is appropriate to meditate on this day. May the Lord bless you. I will boast only about the CROSS of JESUS CHRIST (Galatians 6:14).

    Good Friday Meditations Theme: Shadows of Cross in Old Testament Text: Leviticus 16:20-22 Good Friday service: It is only a commemorative service and not exactly observation of the exact time of the Crucifixion.

    The Holy Spirit applies the message of the Cross to our lives.

    THE CROSS AND REGENERATION. John 3:1-15. JOHN 3:1. Nicodemus was a member of the strictest sect of the Jews: the Pharisees. No doubt he sought to keep all the man-made rules of his religion, as well as the law of God which was given to Moses. Nicodemus was a religious man; an upright man; a ...read more

    Preaching Of The Cross

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on May 24, 2024

    The Apostle Paul said he was not an elegant speaker; he did not desire to use flattering words to draw attention to the cross. It is a shame too many preachers today feel they must use flattery or jokes to attract or keep an audience.

    I have heard many preachers over the span of my life. My father said they began attending church assemblies on Easter just a few days after my birth. Over sixty years have I been in an assembly hearing preaching. Think about the number of years and the many preachers you have heard. You have heard ...read more
