The Multiple Meanings Of The Cross Of Christ

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 10, 2025

The cross you may be wearing means a great deal more than even many Christians understand.

Solemnity of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross 2025 In every Christian assembly I’ve attended, I have noticed a number of folks in the congregation wearing jewelry in the shape of a cross, usually simple silver or gold, but sometimes more intricate. On occasion I’ve seen images of Jesus hanging on ...read more

What Is Love

Contributed by Bobby Daniel on May 6, 2009

Why Is Jesus So Significant? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Isaiah 53 “looks as if it had been written beneath the cross upon Golgotha.” Many believe this is the best single chapter in the whole Bible to explain what happened on the cross.

Today, I want to invite believers both here and a Cross Church to participate with us as we take the Lord’s Supper. We are devoting ourselves to a study of one of the powerful chapters in the Bible. Nowhere in all the Old Testament does the gospel shine more brilliantly than in Isaiah 53. I hope ...read more

By Passion And Cross, Not Just Resurrection Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 12, 2021

Jesus tells us that he will not miss the pain and suffering, because that is an integral part of our fallen human nature, and he was like us in all things except sin.

Monday of 11th Week in Course Church from Eucharist Today’s reading from Matthew makes me squirm a bit. Maybe you, too. In modern English, we might say, if someone takes your shirt, go to your closet and give him your sport coat as well. That’s not to mention the radical call to nonviolence we ...read more

From The Cradle...to The Cross...to The Crown

Contributed by Daniel King, D. Min. on Aug 15, 2018

This is an evangelistic sermon about the life of Jesus. It would be a great message to preach at Christmas time when lots of new visitors come to church to celebrate the holidays.

From the Cradle… Two thousand years ago, a tiny baby was born in the city of Bethlehem. He was born in a stable amongst the animals and He was laid in a manger. His earthly father was a poor carpenter named Joseph and His mother was a virgin girl named Mary. The baby’s real Father was God Himself. ...read more

What The Cross Is Teaching Us

Contributed by Major Gerardo Balmori on Apr 2, 2011

Although Christmas is the most celebrated Christian holiday, Easter is by far the most important event in the life of Christ, for He came to die for the sins of mankind, be buried and rise again on the third day for our justification. This is the Gospel

The Death Of Christ Series

Contributed by Tyler Edwards on Apr 15, 2009

How did the Cross get to be the central theme of Christianity?

The Death of Christ The cross: it is the central theme to Christianity. We identify ourselves, our Lord, our God by particularly cruel form of execution. Yet we display the cross with pride. We wear it on t-shirts, on jewelry, some of us even tattoo it on our bodies. Why is it that we ...read more

Father, Forgive Them. They Don't Know What They Are Doing!

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Mar 27, 2009

This short talk uses a story I wrote for a school assembly (ages 8 to 16) to help people think about this prayer of Jesus from the cross
