Cross Examination

Contributed by Don Jones on Apr 6, 2009

Deceptive Looks

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Apr 17, 2018

Three Nails

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 14, 2019

According to Scripture (John 20:25) and Roman practices of the time, Christ was held to the Cross by three nails but I want to call this belief into question. Nor were the Jews, Romans, or Judas responsible for His death.

THREE NAILS Lk. 23:32-34; Mt. 27:45-54 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. If you ever ask a preacher about his last sermon, he will give you the whole thing again! They usually think they did a good job.

The Wounds Of Jesus.

Contributed by Timothy Ogada on May 3, 2025

First and foremost, may all glory be to God for helping us see and go through this Stewardship week of prayer. Special thanks to my family; my wife Christine, my best friend and the mother to my children, is one human being that is better than me in so many ways. I love her.

It was thought of as the most horrible, painful, tortuous, and ...read more
