    The disciples were disillusioned and disoriented after the crucifixion.

    I grew up in a family with four sisters and no brothers. There were a lot of downsides to this…which I won’t go into now. One upside, and maybe the only one, is that I had to have my own bedroom in the basement, along with my own bathroom. I loved to just go in my room and shut myself out from all ...read more

    This is a sermon about the last seven words or expressions that Jesus said before his death on the Cross of Calvary on Good Friday ,

It was probably written in the 1960’s. The scene was at the Jones - When the curtain rises the scene is ...read more

    The Seven Last Words Of Jesus On The Cross

    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.

    Intro: 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. For example, there was a shop owner who was lying in his bed, and he almost died. His wife and children were around him. With his eyes closed, he said their names: Mey ...read more

    Three Crosses On A Hill: A Study In Evangelism

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 6, 2022
     | 1,654 views

    When we preach about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins upon the cross, we forget that there were also two men crucified on crosses next to Him. Each man had the opportunity to look to Jesus for grace and mercy. Their response determined their eternal destiny.

    The agony of the crucifixion and the final hours of Jesus are recorded in all four gospels, each written with their own unique perspective of what happened that dark day (Matthew 27; Mark 15; Luke 23; John 19). Each one tells of the jeering, mockery, contempt, and seething hatred towards the ...read more
