    The Way Of The Cross

    Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024
     | 1,015 views

    In today’s Gospel reading, Peter responds to Jesus’ announcement that the Messiah will have to suffer and die by denying the cross. Peter is in essence denying the truth of this teaching – that the Messiah must suffer and by extension, his disciples.

    Last week we heard about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness right after his Baptism. That’s the way it feels sometimes – you just make a decision and then things happen that immediately bring your decision into question. This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more

    The Cross Of The Christ Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Sep 13, 2022
     | 1,306 views

    The cross of Jesus Christ glorifies God—by 1) Revealing God’s righteousness (Romans 3:25b–26), by 2) Exalting God’s grace (Romans 3:27–28), by 3) Revealing God’s universality (Romans 3:29–30), and by 4) Confirming God’s law (Romans 3:31).

    Romans 3:25b–31. 25 (whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith). This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the ...read more

    Glory In The Cross

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 30, 2022
     | 2,356 views

    When it comes to salvation, can we boast about anything? The Apostle Paul chose to boast about just one thing, and it had nothing to do with himself.

    The book of Galatians was written by the Apostle Paul to combat false teaching that the Galatian Christians had believed. Paul says to them, “who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth?” The Judaizers were the culprits, stating that circumcision was essential for salvation along with ...read more

    Purity By The Cross Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Oct 5, 2022
     | 2,104 views

    How do we get pure? How can we relate to God? We find out in Hebrews 9:14. That purity comes by the cross. Nothing can compare to the power of Christ in cleaning up a life.

    God is pure. He is like the snow on the top of the Himalayan mountains. We are un-pure. We are like the mud puddle on the road. You can’t mix the two together. The mud puddle water will contaminate the Himalayan snow. Then how do we get pure? How can we relate to God? We find out in Hebrews 9:14. ...read more

    In order to leave the land of Egypt, Israel had to cross over the Red Sea. In order to enter the promised land, these Hebrews had to cross over the Jordan River.

    The Cross-Over. Joshua 3:14-17NKJV Before you can physically crossover an obstacle, or possibly a barrier, you have to be willing to leave familiar. For if the familiar is holding you down, it’s time to crossover. You've heard it said, “People who live in the mountains, wish they lived near ...read more

    The Cross was a God-forsaken death for a God-forsaken people. In our reading we see 3 aspects of the Cross of Christ: The Cross of Rejection, Reception, and Redemption.

    Martin Luther declared: “No one understands the Bible unless they are acquainted with the Cross.” The Cross was a God-forsaken death for a God-forsaken people.

    Crossing Jordan

    We face a greater Jordan to cross than the Children of Israel did. But because it is the same LORD who leads us, we shall cross impassible Jordan.

    Crossing Jordan Joshua 3:7-17 Moses had taken Israel as far as he could. It wasn’t because Moses had succumbed to old age as Deuteronomy 34 tells us he was still vigorous. It is because He had failed earlier to glorify Yahweh in front of the people at Meribah and struck the rock in anger rather ...read more

    Forced Cross Series

     | 1,271 views

    The call to serve God becomes a forced cross when the going gets tough. We love smooth running of life. But through challenges we meet God’s power and miracle working hand. Let’s keep fighting for God with his help.

    Compelled to bear his cross: Matthew 27:32. “And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.” Cyrene was a city of Libya, in north Africa, lying west of Egypt.

    Without the Cross there is no salvation for any one of us, bitten as we are by the sting of death which is sin.

    THE SERPENT AND THE CROSS. John 3:14-21. JOHN 3:14. “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up.” This refers back to an incident during the wilderness wanderings of the children of Israel (cf. Numbers 21:4-9), and forward to the crucifixion. ...read more

    Denying ourselves and following Jesus wholeheartedly may not be easy, but it is essential for a life that honors God.

    You know how in a game of Mad Libs, you have a million choices and it's all a bit crazy? Well, life can feel like that too. But in the middle of all that, Jesus is like, Hey, forget about yourself for a minute, and follow me. Hey, forget about yourself for a minute, and follow me. Imagine you're at ...read more
