    Contributed by William R. Nabaza on Oct 18, 2016
     | 3,099 views

    To show that GOD called us not to believe only but to suffer for His Name's sake and if we try to avoid or save ourselves from trials, persecutions and sufferings here on earth, we will not be saved (advance) in our spiritual life.

    I. EXORDIUM: Are you called to suffer for Him? Yes. Philippians 1:29 (Amplified Bible) For you have been granted [the privilege] for Christ’s sake not only to believe in (adhere to, rely on, and trust in) Him, but also to suffer in His behalf. II. AUDIENCE PROFILE: ...read more

    The Key To Happiness And Eternal Life

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 12, 2015
     | 3,783 views

    Our attitude as children of God must centre on a life that is lived in him. In return for his sacrifice we need to make good use of the opportunities Christ sends our way.

    The scene in Mark 8:27-38 is the climax of the first half of Mark’s Gospel. This first half focuses on miracles and gradually reveals Jesus as the Messiah. The second half explains the nature of that Messiahship and has far more teaching and far fewer miracles. Caesarea Philippi was located ...read more

    "We Have Taken Him Off The Cross"

    Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Sep 15, 2015
     | 3,035 views

    WE do not desire a cross because it means we suffer. The Christ on the cross is an image of suffering, image of surrender, an image of servant hood, and the cross of Christ is an image of sufficiency.

    “We have taken him off the cross?” Mark 8:34 Most pictures we see of the cross of Christ is the cross is displayed as empty. 1. Image 1 of Isenhiem Altar piece The cross of Christ is an image of suffering • The Isenheim Altarpiece is an image of ...read more

     | 9,779 views

    the cross is not just a symbol we look to or place our faith in. It’s not just what Jesus did for us. It is what Jesus invites us to. It is a way of life for those following Jesus.

    The Call to the Cross Mark 8:34-38 The Cross. What comes to mind when you hear that word? A decorative altar ornament? Something that rests on top of a church steeple? A piece of jewelry hanging around the neck? Mention the word "cross" to the people of Jesus' day and a very different image came ...read more

    True discipleship involves our deep commitment to our Lord and Saviour, allowing His life to infuse our own, so that we become more like Him. Are you fully committed to following the commands and precepts of our Lord and Saviour?

In the New Testament the word Disciple is used to describe the people who are committed to following Jesus Christ. To be a true disciple of Jesus requires real ...read more

    Jesus has many casual fans, but He asked us to take up our cross and be a follower. It costs something to be a true disciple.

    TITLE: Not a Fan but a Follower TEXT: Mark 8:27-38 INTRO: A soldier was frantically digging in during battle as shells fell all around him.
