    based on 44 ratings
     | 24,788 views

    Significant truths we can learn and apply to our lives from the tearing of the temple veil at the moment of Jesus’ death.

    *INTRO>In 1966, Alfred Hitchcock directed a Cold War era mystery / thriller movie starring Paul Newman and Julie Andrews, a movie entitled, “The Torn Curtain.” The movie was not one of Hitchcock’s better-known films, as few people paid much attention to it. God understands when much expense has ...read more

    Crucifixion

    Contributed by Scott Bradford on Mar 17, 2008
    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,060 views

    A Good Friday sermon as part of the lenten series Words of Lent. (This sermon quotes several historical perspectives and descriptions of crucifixion)

    Four simple words are found in this text: “And they crucified him”. -- "And they crucified him!" Not very descriptive really, considering the severity of the punishment. Obviously, they were words that were meant for an entirely different audience. And audience, who is Jesus’ day, knew exactly what ...read more

    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

    He left Heaven and His heavenly crown to wear a crown of thorns to set us free from sin.

    A thorn of crowns He wore for you Matthew 27:29 “And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!” When they mocked Him with a crown of thorns it was one of the ...read more

    One Thing Jesus Could Not Do

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 22, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,813 views

    Jesus’ tormentors taunted Him, saying, "He saved others; He cannot save Himself." They unknowingly spoke the truth concerning Him. Indeed, He could not save Himself ... if we were to be saved.

    MATTHEW 27:42 ONE THING JESUS COULD NOT DO “He saved others; He cannot save himself.” Boisterous, mocking religious men surrounded the cross. Laughing at the helpless man hanging suspended between life and death, they belched out vile, venomous scorn. Among the taunts they hurled at Him as He ...read more

    Message about how Pilate handled his opportunity with Jesus.

    What We Can Learn from Pilate Matthew 27:11-26 October 4, 2009 Me: One of my favorite phrases in life is, “Been there, done that.” My favorite variation of that is, “Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.” I’m not entirely sure what the last part means, but that’s okay – it sounds cool.

     | 26,700 views

    The gospel of grace! Because of Jesus, the Father promises US, ’Never will I leave or forsake YOU.’

    “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Those words were so raw with emotion that we still have them in Aramaic, Jesus’ mother tongue: Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? Jesus is hanging there on the cross. We can safely assume his face is twisted with the agony of crucifixion. He can barely ...read more

    This message reminds of the immeasurable sufferings of our Lord for our sins.

    Introduction: The Crown of Thorns are a depiction of evil mankind at its worse.

    So, the question is raised in vs 22, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!” Crucifying the anointing! I wonder how many times we have crucified the anointing by doing our own thing?

    It’s Dark, What Shall You Do? Matthew 27:21-22 (Show Slides of the Passion of the Christ while preaching) 21 The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!” 22 Pilate said to them, ...read more
