    The cross is hideous. It’s not a pretty thing we hang on our walls. It’s not a fine piece of jewelry hanging from our neck. It is the most brutal instrument of death ever conceived by the cruel mind of man.

    For the past few weeks, we’ve been looking at the events of the last few days of Jesus’ life on earth. With each of those events, we’ve seen a sense of urgency. Each week we have seen an example of urgency. But this morning is different. In this morning’s passage, our Lord shows a sense of ...read more

    The significance of what we call Good Friday is what actually happened and for what purpose!

    If we look in the Bible, no matter which translation, we will not find the words “Good Friday”. The words Christmas and Trinity are also not in the Bible, does it mean we should ignore them? Absolutely not! Christmas, The Trinity, Good Friday, and even the word Easter are just words we ...read more

    Although abandoned on the Cross for our sins, the Lord Jesus Christ will not abandon us in our darkest hour.

    INTRO A little over a week ago I made a pilgrimage over to Wally Mart – I’m sure to get something for dinner. Anyway, while getting out of the car, I noticed that the car in front of me had in it a small child – a baby, sitting in his or her car seat, sleeping away. All the ...read more

    Why has Jesus been forsaken? So that we do not need to go through heel and so we can have a relationship with God.

    Message Matthew 27:45-56 Jesus Pays ... Mankind Stutters Good Friday is the day we specifically focus on the death of Jesus. Now let’s remember that His death is just a small part of the whole – what we call – Passion Narrative. It seems a bit strange to call this act “The Passion” especially ...read more

    At the moment of the Messiah’s death, God provided three miraculous signs. Matthew alone records all the supernatural events that accompany Jesus’ death. He aslo tells us of some of the people who witness the event & how some of them were affected.

    MATTHEW 27: [50] 51-56 WITNESSED SIGNS After Jesus dies the oppressive darkness over the earth is lifted. Everyone knew something significant had happened. The substitutionary death of Jesus brings light (salvation) to a world lost in sin and darkness, that is, to all those who accept Him ...read more
