    A sermon, for Palm Sunday, Good Friday, or Easter, explaining that the THIEF ON THE CROSS was saved by faith alone.

     | 6,015 views

    From a simple look at the two thieves hanging with Jesus, we find that there are really only two choices to make about Jesus.

    INTRODUCTION Last week I said that from Genesis to Revelation there has only ever been one plan of salvation, “for by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.”(1) Today we look back at the cross by faith and put ...read more

    Jesus’ love does not depend on what you can do for Him - not at all.

    One of criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!” But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man had done ...read more

    The way I see it is that you have two choices when you come into the knowledge of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you will either mock or repent.

    Mock or Repent, What is your reaction to Jesus Today? Minister Cedric A. Portis 4/20/03 Luke 23:35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. Luke 23:36 And the soldiers also mocked ...read more

    Anyone could have hung as a thief next to Jesus - including one of us.

    The Passion Week story is filled with characters that we could, and perhaps should, spend time examining because they illustrate the human race of every historical age. The status quo is present in the persons of the Pharisees and Sanhedrin. Every age of history has such people - religious or not. ...read more

    We can always learn lessons from a thief, usually it’s what not to do. But in this case this thief teaches us four lessons that are worth following if we want to hear those words someday for ourselves, "Today, you will be with me in Paradise."

    Last week we started a series on the seven statements of Christ from the cross. Words that give us tremendous insight for our own lives. Last week in the words, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do”, we saw the forgiveness of Christ as he forgave the very people who were ...read more

    The Messages Of The Three Crosses On Calvary

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jun 19, 2001
    based on 95 ratings
     | 38,836 views

    Each cross on calvary carries a message: we see a cross of redemption, a cross of rejection, and a cross of repentance.

    Picture in your mind one of the drawings or paintings that you have seen portraying Christ’s crucifixion. If the artist based his or her rendering of Calvary on the Bible’s account you probably saw three crosses in the picture. Although there were three crosses I am assuming one was probably more ...read more
