The Necessity Of The Cross

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 14, 2021

Because this is the only way we sinners can be made clean, rescued from eternal death, we draw near to Calvary and look on the crucified Savior.

Today’s Scriptures are powerful, and that’s an understatement. The verse to memorize for understanding the Gospel, and application to our life, is “unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone”. We’ll see that presently.

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 10, 2021

The crowds were looking for a Christ who would "remain" and lead them into glorious earthly kingdom, but Jesus was talking about being "lifted up" and not being with them forever. The Jesus they wanted wasn't the Jesus they were getting.

Cyanide.” “King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 porcupines.” “The men who followed the Lord were called ...read more

Holy Wednesday And Jesus Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Mar 31, 2021
