A Foreshadowing Sacrifice Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 15, 2021

Good Friday: God knew ahead of time that He would – and must – sacrifice His one and only Son in order to atone for the sins that separate people from Him. In Genesis chapter 22, we see a glimpse into the future of God’s plan of salvation.

I’ve entitled our message this morning, “A Foreshadowing Sacrifice,” which indicates that we’re going to be looking at something foretold long before it happened. I wish to begin our message this morning by sharing something out of the book of Acts. In Acts 8:31-35, we find the account of Philip ...read more

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Dec 7, 2021

Part 1 of a 2 part series on the Death and Burial of Jesus. By integrating the gospels, we can easily see all of the details provided in all four gospels. This message is the crucifixion story in a logical order with nothing added to Scripture and nothing taken away.

Luke 23:26-34 As the chief priests led Jesus away to be crucified, they laid hold of Simon the Cyrenain. Simon, (the father of Alexander and Rufus - Mark 15:21), was coming out of the country. They laid the cross on him, so that he could carry it behind Jesus. A great company of people and women ...read more

Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Jul 15, 2019

If Jesus were to ask you, why are you following him, how would you respond. This message looks at the two thieves who were crucified with Christ, and what they wanted from him.

What Do You Want From Jesus? Proverbs 9:10-12 Luke 23:32-43 Have you ever tried to use deception to get what you wanted. You told someone something good about themselves, because you had plans for later. It could have been a statement, “Mommy I Love You, You’re the best Mom in the ...read more

I Thirst Series

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Apr 6, 2021

Jesus said, “I thirst,” from the cross because He wanted His lips and throat moistened to utter one final victorious shout before He died. The death of Jesus Christ finished His work of redemption, atonement, and reconciliation.

I Thirst John 19:28-29 During the approximately six hours Jesus Christ hung on the cross, our Lord spoke seven final statements. One of those statements is recorded in John 19:28: “Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, ‘I ...read more

Resurrection Joy! Series

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Mar 11, 2016

We are going to go through a couple chapters of Scripture from the Gospel of John that takes us from the crucifixion of Jesus to His resurrection from the grave.

A quote from C.S. Lewis says, “Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition, when infinite joy is offered to us…like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in the slum because he ...read more

“he Was Dismissed By The Soldiers” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Apr 6, 2015

People dismiss Jesus today for the same reasons the soldiers dismissed Him on that first Easter weekend.

I wonder what Jesus thought when He looked down at His bloody feet nailed to the cross. By then His vision would have been blurred, not just from the excruciating pain, but from the blood and sweat that He was powerless to wipe away from His eyes. In that painful, lonely, and desperate moment of ...read more

The Distant Disciple - Nicodemus

Contributed by Steve Wilson on Mar 16, 2016

Though it is difficult for us to relinquish control of our lives to this one who lived long ago (Jesus), it was even more difficult to do so when He walked on this earth. That was especially true for a prominent ruler of the Jews by the name of Nicodemus.

Introduction • Read John 3:12-16; 7:45-53; 19:38-42 • To you, I hope, Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God, your Savior and your Lord. It is so wonderful that we live on this side of the cross and resurrection. Though it is difficult to relinquish control of our lives to this one who ...read more

It Didn’t Just Happen

Contributed by John Newton on Jun 4, 2023

The crucifixion of Jesus was not a random incident: it was part of God’s plan from eternity

It was a journey of some two thousand kilometers—from Jerusalem all the way back to what is modern-day Sudan. The lone traveler had come to worship at the Temple. And I can only imagine that it was for him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As his horse plodded along, he occupied his time by ...read more
