    There were all kinds of people at the Cross. What distinguished these groups of people? The condition of their souls, their spiritual heart attitudes. Around the Cross of Jesus, we can see people who demonstrated some contrasting heart conditions.

    Lent 4: The Lord has prescribed the method whereby we must be saved. It might seem odd - maybe crazy - like gazing at a snake on a pole... or a Savior on a Cross.

    Folks were fussing and griping. They were angry and upset and - as is almost always the case under these circumstances - they began to criticize. Soon the words became heated. The harshness of the comments spoken was only thinly veiled. The angry words spoken were like painful, barbed darts – ...read more

    God took the vilest, ugliest, most sinful thing and by His love, transformed it into something that we would wear around our necks, or place in a our sanctuaries. Is there something in your life that He could do the same to?

    Tell your neighbor, "There is a message in the cross and you need to know what it is!" Then look at your other neighbor and ask, "What is the message of the cross?" Chris was explaining basic Christian theology to Jen when they were quit a bit younger. He said, “You see Jen, it was Jesus’ job to ...read more

    The remedy for division rooted in pride is the proper appreciation for the Cross.

    Introduction: A. I love the story of the two men were digging a ditch on a very hot day. 1.

    Man is ultimately responsible for any and all of his actions. Nowhere in the Bible will you find a verse that excuses man’s sin. Rather what it does prove is that we have an all-knowing God, an omniscient God.

    Crossing the Line Scripture: Romans 3:5-6 5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) 6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? 7 Someone might ...read more

    What is the only motivation that will really release us from the grip of sin? The cross!

    Let’s open our Bibles this morning to 1 Corinthians chapter 5. I want to remind you this morning that in 2 Chronicles 7 God promised His presence to those who would humble themselves and pray, seek God’s face, and who would turn from their wicked ways.

    In Galatians 3:1-14, Paul has presented us with us two roads. One road is the road of curse. The other road is the road of blessing. What road are you on? Are you on the road of curse, which leads to destruction or are you on the road of blessing whi
