    Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Mar 14, 2016
     | 4,668 views

    The message shares how Mary worshipped Jesus by pouring herself out, she worshipped as a result of what she believed, and she saw beyond the cross and tomb.

    Judgement From The Rude Throne

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 16, 2022
     | 907 views

    His first words from the cross was the judgement of the people who had unjustly put Him on that rude throne: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

    Christ the King 2022 Those of you who are very familiar with the psalm we just sang, Psalm 122, may realize that the Church omits the last few verses of the prayer today. The last part of the psalm takes time to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. That makes a great deal of sense in the context of ...read more

    Because of our sin, we can’t come in; but since Jesus died on the cross to take our sin, we can now come in.

    Father Abraham Had Many Sons

     | 396 views

    Jesus used a familiar Jewish story to show who the true children of Abraham are. The only bridge across the chasm of sin is the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    (Father Abraham and Lazarus) If you could overhear a live conversation between heaven and hell, would you lean in? Many people read Jesus’ story of the rich man and Lazarus as though He lowered a microphone into the afterlife to let us hear a dialogue across eternity. For centuries preachers ...read more

    John the Apostle tells us we know what real love is—not by looking to Hollywood, not by consulting philosophy, but by looking to Jesus Christ and His cross.

    Go! And Live Out His Love - 1 John 3:16 1 John 3:16 (NLT): "We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters."

    Because He Stayed: Why You Can Trust God

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 5, 2025
     | 221 views

    Jesus stayed on the cross when leaving was easier. His staying reveals God’s faithfulness, secures our salvation, and proves He can be trusted forever.

    Trust is a fragile thing. It rises slowly and breaks quickly. It is shaped by what we have lived through more than what we have learned. Many people want to trust God, and many say they do, but beneath the surface there is a tremble, a hesitation, a quiet fear that maybe God will treat them the ...read more

    We can see how quickly satan can attack. In a short time Peter went from confessing Jesus to rebuking Jesus. Jesus teaches us how we can be on guard against our wiley foe as well as how to live with purpose for Him.

    (see also Mark 8:27-30) for context. Dear beloved in Christ... In our Gospel reading there is much to grab our attention as Jesus is in process of predicting his death and resurrection. We hear about how Jesus must suffer many things and that we are called to take up our cross and follow Jesus. ...read more

    Opening illustration: John, do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want a chance to change the world?” That was the challenge Steve Jobs issued in 1983 to John Sculley, then president of Pepsi-Cola.
