    The Irreducible Cross

    Contributed by Bill Sullivan on Mar 23, 2005
    based on 19 ratings
     | 3,389 views

    As much as our culture, or we, might try, to remove it as a barrier...as much as the world might like to make it into only a symbol, and rob it of its eternal meaning, the cross is irreducible. It’s irreducible in time. It’s irreducible in eternity.

    The Irreducible Cross TCF Good Friday sermon March 25, 2005 I found this quote a few weeks ago in an article on a very popular TV preacher. This guy sells tickets to his national tour, and fills 15-20,000-seat arenas with his positive message. In this quote, he describes his own church, ...read more

    God glorifies the Messiah through death both to give life to his people and to honor those that die.

    Scripture Introduction John’s way of telling the story of Messiah has provided many opportunities to focus on him both as prophet (the very Word of God in human flesh) and as priest (the sacrifice for the sins of the people). In today’s text, Christ as King is the focus. 500 years ...read more

     | 4,747 views

    One of the worst characteristics, or symptoms, of pride is that it feeds off others in order to fill its host. Pride builds us up only by tearing others down.

    How do we understand charity and Christian giving? As a follower of Jesus Christ, how do I discern and know when and how to give?

    “Hiding in Plain Sight” – Part 1 Matthew 6:1-4 Giving Alms Many think that charitable giving is a natural part of human nature. Actually, it is not.

    Do you feel a lack of growth? It could be that you are experiencing the effects of bad doctrine or that you need to re-connect to the root - Jesus Christ.

    The Colossians were Christians - they knew Jesus as their Savior. But what threatened them in the proto-Gnostic heresy was a lack of maturity. They were like plants - plants that hadn’t grown up and were stunted in their maturity. As Christians if we do not grow in our discipleship in Christ ...read more
