Sermon # 13 - The Way Of The Cross Part 2 - Standing Around The Cross Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 10, 2025

Around the cross of Jesus were many people and it is interesting to note how each of them responded to the Savior’s cruel death. We must examine ourselves too to make sure that we truly understand and value what the Loving Lord Jesus did for us on our behalf on the cross of Calvary.

We read in John 19:17-18, He went out, carrying his cross, and came to "The Place of the Skull," as it is called. (In Hebrew it is called "Golgotha.") There they crucified him; and they also crucified two other men, one on each side, with Jesus between them. (GNB) That day when ...read more

The Sword Will Never Depart Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Mar 12, 2026

As we learned last week, there were some significant consequences attached to David’s decisions regarding Bathsheba. The most far reaching of those consequences was Yahweh’s declaration that the sword would never depart from David’s house. That part of Israel’s history begins today.
