    Evidence Demands A Verdict

    Contributed by Keith Manry on Mar 29, 2007
    based on 44 ratings
     | 12,894 views

    This is part V in the series - 24. It is a first person narrative account from the perspective of the centurion at the cross. WARNING: It is graphic! The preaching idea: the evidence has been presented. What will you do with it?

    “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” Ultimately, that’s what the final 24 hours in Jesus’ life are about – God’s plan to redeem us to buy us back. We’ve heard from four characters who ...read more

    Just As The Serpent Was Lifted Up

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,649 views

    Have you ever wondered what Jesus meant when he compared himself to the Bronze Serpent in the book of Numbers? Nicodemus probably did. This was a good Friday service.

    Just as the Serpent was lifted up The first time he had met Jesus it was in the dark, and there was just him and the master. We see him at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry and then we hear him speak in defence of Jesus halfway through the story and then we don’t see him again until ...read more

    Am I Not To Drink The Cup?

    The cup of Jesus was seen several times during the last week before the cross. This lesson centers on His cup and why it had to be drunk.

    Am I Not To Drink The Cup? (John 18:1-11) Introduction: A. About this time of year, 2000 or so years ago, the greatest event in the history of mankind took place. It took place in a country that most people saw only as a tool, no longer as a theocracy. It took place in the shadows and cover of ...read more

    I Am Barabbas Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,702 views

    Jesus was killed while Barabbas, the genuinely guilty, was set free. This is a picture of salvation in that Jesus died so we, the guilty, may be set free.

    The Irony of Good Friday… I am sure that the irony that reveals itself in the fact that we refer to today as Good Friday does not escape our minds. From the perspective of all who bore eyewitness to the events that transpired during the 24 hours of that first Good Friday, it was anything ...read more

    The Power Of The Lamb's Blood SermonCentral

    Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 8, 2023

    Our text takes place on the eve of the Israelites' liberation from Egypt. They are instructed to slaughter a lamb and prepare it for consumption with bitter herbs. They are also commanded to take the lamb's blood and use it to mark the outside door posts of their houses. This act of faith and obedience would signal their homes to be passed over during the final plague. This message explores the significance of this act and the powerful symbolism it holds for us today.

    Today, we gather to reflect on the significance of the blood of Jesus Christ. Just as the Israelites applied the blood of a lamb to their doorposts for protection and deliverance, we too can find hope and transformation through the blood of Jesus. Let us explore how the blood of Jesus provides ...read more

    Surely

    One man, and one man only is wholly competent to tell us the story of the death of Jesus. That man is this roman centurion. It was this centurion, who sent his band of men across the brook Kedron in the soft moonlight to arrest Jesus.

    Hark 15:39...And when the centurion who stood facing him,saw that he so cried out, and gave up the s p i r i t , he said surely t h i s m a n i s t h e S o n o f G o d . ; S U R E L Y One man, and one man only is w h o l l y competent to tell us the story of the death ofJesus.

    Christ’s Cross And Our Cross

    Contributed by Rajkumar Pulla on Mar 22, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,643 views

    The cross today is a vivid symbol of a great past victory that involved horrible pain and crucifixion. When we see our shiny crosses that symbolize this past event, we must also remind ourselves that it was really an “Old Rugged Cross”, as the song says,

    He who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it” (Matthew 10:38-39) What happened at the college called Virginia Tech in the eastern United States, was simply terrible. It appears that a ...read more

    3 Crosses @ Calvary

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 15, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,377 views

    This incident, on the road to Calvary, and then at the sight of the crucifixion, reveals both God and man as they truly are. It exposes man as incredibly cruel, and God as amazingly kind and compassionate. It is man who is evil, and God who is good.

    Opening illustration: If you were to look at Rembrandt’s painting of The Three Crosses, your attention would be drawn first to the center cross on which Jesus died. Then as you would look at the crowd gathered around the foot of that cross, you’d be impressed by the various facial expressions and ...read more

    #3 in series, about Simon of Cyrene, and about how we all need to carry our own crosses.

    Mark 15:21-24 – Were You There? #3 – Cross Carrier (Simon of Cyrene) The name Simon is fairly common in the New Testament. The name means, “God has heard”, and it’s a fairly noble idea.

     | 40,391 views

    The day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday rarely gets much attention. This sermon seeks to address Holy Saturday’s importance in an imaginative and emotive manner. It was first preached for a Good Friday service and is crafted for such an audience.

    It’s Saturday – But Is It Finished? Luke 23: 54 Throughout the season of Christ’s birth we celebrate Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany. Three months later we commemorate Ash Wednesday, Lent, Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter. But what do we call the Saturday that falls ...read more

     | 6,136 views

    Jesus cry, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me!” is a desperate cry of loneliness. I believe this was the worst and the most horrible moment of the crucifixion for Jesus. When sin invaded His life and the Father walked away! He felt totally alone! H

    This message reminds of the immeasurable sufferings of our Lord for our sins.

    Introduction: The Crown of Thorns are a depiction of evil mankind at its worse. There was no need for man to reach such an extreme amid all the other disgusting things that they had already did to Our Lord.

    What difference does it make whether it’s Good Friday or Easter Sunday? The difference is that Good Friday represents everything AWEFUL in life and Easter Sunday represents everything AWESOME in life.

    Tony Campolo tells a story of preaching on Easter at his church in Philadelphia. He got up to preach to his predominantly black congregation – and he was “ON”! The folks were encouraging and hepping him along, and he got excited. He could hear some saying, “Help him Jesus!” And then he ...read more
