     | 6,935 views

    What was finished? What was this mission that was now finished? Why did Jesus come? Let's look at how Jesus defined his mission -- and later, how his apostles understood it.

    It is Finished! John 19:30 John 19:28-30 reads, "After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, to fulfill the Scripture, said, 'I am thirsty.' A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop, ...read more

    Why Does Easter Matter

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,986 views

    What difference does Easter make? The sermon looks at "explanations" for Jesus’ death on the cross. But Easter matters because we all have baggage in life, we will die one day, and we need help.

    WHY DOES EASTER MATTER? March 23, 2008 Jay Davis Robison MARK 16:1-8 Do you suppose it will make any difference?

    God In The Dark

     | 1,991 views

    God made atonement as Jesus hung on the cross. All who receive Him as Master over life are brought into the family of God, forgiven all sin, and saved forever.

    “From the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?’ that is, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’ And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, ‘This man is calling ...read more

     | 10,620 views

    Reformed theology that God turned His back on Jesus on the cross. Is this Biblical?

    Did God Turn His Back Upon Jesus? Matthew 27:45-46 In my seminary theological classes, we were taught that God had to turn his back on Jesus when the sin of the world was laid upon Him. This verse, and one from Habakkuk which states that God cannot bear to look upon evil were used to prove this. ...read more

    The actions of those on the Titanic who volunarily gave up their seats in the lifeboat to others illustrates the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ for sinners.

    This morning, I’d like to tell you the story of the sinking of the Titanic. At 11:30 p.m., on April 14, 1912, the ocean liner Titanic, the pride of the White Star cruise line sailing on her maiden voyage, struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic, and sank less than 2 1/2 hours later, taking with her ...read more

    The disciples who followed Jesus in the day of his flesh had some wonderful advantages. However, when Jesus died on the cross every shred of hope they had was gone.

    Mark 16:9-11 9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. 10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen ...read more

    The Messages Of The Three Crosses On Calvary

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jun 19, 2001
    based on 95 ratings
     | 39,622 views

    Each cross on calvary carries a message: we see a cross of redemption, a cross of rejection, and a cross of repentance.

    Picture in your mind one of the drawings or paintings that you have seen portraying Christ’s crucifixion. If the artist based his or her rendering of Calvary on the Bible’s account you probably saw three crosses in the picture. Although there were three crosses I am assuming one was probably more ...read more

    A sermon on the fourth saying of our Savior from the cross.

    The anguish of our Savior on Calvary was foretold by David in Psalm 22. While I would encourage you to read the entire Psalm, I want to just share with you the first 8 verses. “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from the words of my groaning? O my ...read more

    This sermon explores how Jesus exemplified surrender, submission, and sanctity in His life and death, and how we can emulate His example in our lives.

    Good morning, beloved congregation. It is with joy in my heart that I greet you today, not because the world is without trials, but because we serve a Savior who triumphed over them all.

    Jesus descended from His throne in Heaven and became like us in the form of a servant. He became such a servant that He was obedient to the death of the cross.

    Was the cross and all of its barbarism necessary or was there another way? It calls us to decide whether Jesus wa Liar, Lunatic or Lord.

    Did Jesus Have To Die? (The offense of the cross) 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 Did Jesus have to suffer and die?" To say that it was necessary causes Christians no problem at all. In fact, the story of the cross, or forgiveness of sins, of paying our ransom, or the just dying for the unjust... THE ...read more
