The cross of Jesus and his resurrection can give you hope.

If there is one symbol that Christians around the world recognize, it is the cross. The cross is a positive symbol, not just because it looks like a plus sign, but because the death of Jesus is a positive event. It is a forward-looking event. It is a saving event. In spite of its gruesome ...read more

Contributed by Charles Wilkerson on Nov 14, 2003

A Long Way To Go

Contributed by Kory Wilcoxson on Jan 12, 2005

Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem teaches us some important lessons about a life committed to God.

Today we celebrate what is commonly called Palm Sunday, which is interesting, because if you noticed, there was no mention of palms in the Mark reading. In fact, palms are only mentioned in the gospel of John. But early Christians quickly figured out that “Branches Cut from the Field” Sunday ...read more

Behold Your King

A fresh look at the facts of Palm Sunday. The response of the crowds, and our present day response to the Lord’s kingship.

BEHOLD YOUR KING Matthew 21:1-17 Here we have a remarkable scene; the Lord Jesus is on His way to die on Calvary, just as He has recently made known to His disciples, (although it appears that they either did not understand what He said, or they did not want to believe it). As they came towards ...read more

"He Showed Himself Alive …” 2 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

As I stated earlier, when a preacher preaches on the resurrection of Christ he is preaching on the most important topic of the Bible.

That statement was the truth when I said it and it is the truth now! I vehemently want to state again, it is not one of the most important, but THE MOST IMPORTANT topic of the Bible. As we focus in on this most important topic again today, with all the Easter traditions we have in this country ...read more

Certainly -- At A Distance

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 18, 2003

For Good Friday: sometimes we no longer see things because we are too close to them. The disciples saw the cross "at a distance", but the centurion saw it through his callousness, cynicism, and skepticism, and affirmed, "Certainly".

Sometimes when you are too close to something you cannot see it. Or at least you cannot recognize what it is. You can be so close that you do not know what you are looking at. You need somebody else to give you a fresh perspective. My wife and I buy grocery items when they are on ...read more
