    "The Whole Earth Was Dark" Mark 15:25-39 In Mark 15:33 we are told that "the whole earth was dark." "From noon until three in the afternoon the whole earth was dark." While Jesus hung on the Cross, for your sins, for my sins--"the whole earth was dark." Way back in the very first ...read more

    Golgotha and Calvary are in fact the same place, they are inseparable. Neither can we separate the ugliness of the cross from the glory of the cross.

    INTRO: 1. In taking a fresh look at what the bible says about the events surrounding the cross, I made an interesting discovery. 2. Three out of the four gospel accounts refer to the place that Jesus was crucified in the Hebrew tongue as “Golgotha.” a. Only in one account ...read more

    The burial of Jesus was a wonderful miracle wrought by God. Normally, victims of crucifixion were not buried. So how did Jesus escape the normal disposal of a crucified body? This sermon tells how God did it.

    INTRODUCTION - ”JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA" 1. Easter has come and gone. 2. We have spent much time grieving over the cross and celebrating the resurrection of Christ. 3. Today, I’d like to tell you one more story about the resurrection. 4. If this part of the story of the ...read more

    Jesus hung on the cross BECAUSE of you, and He hung on the cross FOR you. Notice what Jesus endured for you and me: Multiple Trials, Multiple Mockeries, Multiple Tortures, A Singular Act, A Single Offer

    Crucifixion and Burial: The King is Dead Mark 15:6-39 “Before we can begin to see the cross as something done for us, we have to see it as something done by us.” John R.W.

    One man, and one man only is wholly competent to tell us the story of the death of Jesus. That man is this roman centurion. It was this centurion, who sent his band of men across the brook Kedron in the soft moonlight to arrest Jesus.

    Hark 15:39...And when the centurion who stood facing him,saw that he so cried out, and gave up the s p i r i t , he said surely t h i s m a n i s t h e S o n o f G o d . ; S U R E L Y One man, and one man only is w h o l l y competent to tell us the story of the death ofJesus.

    What are the crimes of the cross? Whose crimes were responsible for the crucifixion of Christ?

    Did God The Father ‘turn His Back’ On Jesus?

     | 4,952 views

    This sermon looks at Jesus' "forsaken" cry from the cross. It examines two arguments: one that the Father did turn His back on Jesus at that moment; the other that the Bible does not teach that.

    A CROSS QUESTIONS: DID GOD THE FATHER "TURN HIS BACK" ON JESUS WHEN HE WAS ON THE CROSS? - Mark 15:34. - The phrase “turn His back” does not appear anywhere in Scripture, but it’s come into our popular religious vocabulary. Commenting on the passage we just read, we often say that when Jesus ...read more

    The Centurion At The Feet Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 11, 2018

     | 17,731 views

    The story of this Centurion is listed in 3 of the Gospels because God wants us to see what he saw. What did the centurion see that day, and why did he cry out "Surely this was the Son of God"?

    In the days of Jesus the most feared soldiers on the face of the earth were those of the Legions Of Rome. These men were practically invincible. It seemed to no nation of the day could stand against them. And one of the reasons they were so powerful and so feared was because their armies were led ...read more

    The fact that so long a portion of the Gospels is dedicated toward describing how Jesus suffered for us suggests we need to contemplate those events thoroughly.

    Crucified for Us Mark 15:21-32 1. This week, I came across a Jewish version of a joke I tell every year at camp. 2. Three Jewish sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts hey were able to give their elderly mother. The first ...read more

    Looking at Joseph of Arimathea, we see what He did with the body of Christ and compare it to our responsibility to today's "body of Christ."

    Mark 15:42-47 (NIV2011) 42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was ...read more
