A large number of life's greatest blessings start out as stupid, moronic foolishness in the eyes of many people.

Good Friday

Contributed by Rich O' Toole on Mar 27, 2024

The Cross is foolish to those who are perishing.

Grant Me Wisdom Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 7, 2022

God, grant me the wisdom to know the difference … and, as we shall see, therein lies the problem. I don’t know about you, but I usually don’t know the difference and I usually do the most harm to myself and to others when I think that I do.

The main idea is to understand two theories of atonement - Penal Substitution and Christus Victor - and to explore the significance of Jesus' death on the cross in defeating the powers of evil.

You know that cross necklace you wear, or the one you see people wearing? It's more than just a cool piece of jewelry. It's a symbol of something huge that happened a long time ago. Jesus died on a cross, and that changed everything. But why did He have to die, and why does it matter so much? Let's ...read more

Preparing For The Cross

Contributed by Mark Elkins on Apr 11, 2003

God took the vilest, ugliest, most sinful thing and by His love, transformed it into something that we would wear around our necks, or place in a our sanctuaries. Is there something in your life that He could do the same to?

Tell your neighbor, "There is a message in the cross and you need to know what it is!" Then look at your other neighbor and ask, "What is the message of the cross?"

Two Kinds Of People

Contributed by Jon Mackinney on May 7, 2003

This passage answers one of the most common questions we have. Why can the gospel be life itself to one person, and a laughable joke to another.
