    God’s desired will — with omissions and out of sequence — is no longer God’s will. The cross could not be bypassed. Jesus had to wear the crown of thorns before He could wear the crown of the Kingdom.

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Dec 13, 2019
     | 4,075 views

    Why can't God ignore or excuse sin? Sacrifice of atonement (OT background). Righteousness through faith. God is "just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus."

    CROSS PURPOSES 3: Mercy and Justice Crosses are everywhere: Hanging on chains around people’s necks. Tattooed on people’s bodies. Surrounded by artificial flowers along the side of the road, where an accidental death occurred. Lined up in cemeteries, or on grave markers. Towering over churches, ...read more

    The Church must be diligent to keep the main thing of the gospel, the main thing! The essence of gospel of Jesus crucified & resurrected for our salvation. Our message is not based on what people want to hear. We have a mandate to preach gospel

    Matthew 16:24-25 02-08-15 When kids turn sixteen, they often take an in-car driving course to prepare them for their driver’s license test.

    The last words said by a person who is about to die can show what their main concerns are and what their character is like. From what Jesus said at the end of His life, we can see His character, mission, and concerns.

     | 1,322 views

    Although Jesus was and is fully God, He was and is fully man. He can feel what we feel because, as the Word says, He was “…in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin” (Heb. 4:15). We are going to look at how His faith was tested, but He did not sin – not even one time.

    IT NEVER CROSSED HIS MIND AGAIN TEXT: HEBREWS 12:1-3 INTRODUCTION: We are told to “consider” Jesus, Who “endured the cross” and despised “the shame.” He endured the shame because of, “the joy that was set before Him.” He is the beginner and finisher of our faith. He walked the way of faith first ...read more
