Father, Forgive Them Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Mar 7, 2022

Jesus prayed for His murders. He prayed for the very people who were His cruelest enemies. "Father, forgive them" is for the very ones who are doing unimaginable cruel things to Him.

During that time, Jesus made seven statements on the cross recorded in the four gospels of the New Testament. Each of these statements is significant and worthy of every drop of ...read more

The Ultimate Scapegoat

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

What was the Scapegoat, and can it's function somehow be applied to Jesus? Christ made a one-time sacrifice and atonement to cover all sins. There is no more need for a scapegoat, as the Lamb of God became the final sin offering.

I want to begin our sermon this morning by asking if you’ve ever before heard the word “scapegoat.” This term was coined by William Tyndale, the first great English Bible translator, who I will discuss a little further later on in our message. After Tyndale, the word came to be used for a person, ...read more

The Dream Of Pilate’s Wife

Testing Spirits In The World

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 9, 2020
