Sermon # 12 - The Way Of The Cross Part 1 - Dealing With Loneliness Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 9, 2025

There are so many people who are lonely because of various reasons. Jesus the Son of God, experienced loneliness and desertion too. Jesus died in our place to reconcile us back to God and has promised those who trust in Him that He will be with us from now to eternity, so we never need be alone.

We read in Mark 14:50, “And they all left Him and fled.” These messages for the next two or three weeks will focus on the way of the cross that Jesus had to undergo.

Contributed by Brian Williams on Oct 14, 2025

Like Israel sent Joseph to his brothers because of his love and concern for his rebellious children, God sent His son Jesus out of love for a world that is lost and distant from Him because of their sin. God is concerned for both your daily and eternal welfare.

Today, we are in Genesis 37. If you remember, for 20 years Jacob went from running, to wrestling, to resolving issues with God and his brother Esau.
