    Introduction As we continue our series in The Apostles’ Creed I would like to examine today what it means to believe that Jesus was crucified, died, and was buried. Please listen as I recite the Apostles’ Creed: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus ...read more

    The cross affected a great number of people. Most of whom were obvious. But its most profound impact was on the not so obvious.

    INTRODUCTION: About 3 years ago Connie and I attended a family reunion in Roswell, N.M. We had a good time but one thing sticks out in my mind about that reunion. It was a side trip we took to see a musical about some of the folklore surrounding the Roswell area. The story is told that in or around ...read more

    It Is Your Responsibility

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 25, 2002
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,762 views

    We can’t gussy up our attitudes or actions to make them seem righteous on the outside and think that we are pleasing God. It’s much better to be transparent and let God deal with you, than try to hide sin under a pretty blanket.

    The latest answer when you are caught making a mistake, doing something wrong – even breaking the law is: There was an error in judgment. Not, I goofed, or I’m guilty – but an error in judgment was made. That goes right along with this one: "I assume responsibility for all of my actions, except the ...read more

    Part of an Easter series, this sermon looks at the Centurion and his response to his encounter with Christ.

    Just Doing My Job Mt. 27:27-54 Illus. One of the things I loved as a paramedic was that it was anything but routine. •We were trained to expect the unexpected, to be ready for anything. And yet, there were some drawbacks. Every time the call went out, someone was facing a crisis that would change ...read more

    Take a look into what exactly happened to this world at the death of the Lord Jesus Christ.

    COMMUNION Celebrating His Death Introduction: We are celebrating the Lord’s Supper today in our service: I would like to seek to grasp the heart today of why communion is important to God – and one of the two ordinances that He has left us to practice in the church. Paul, inspired by the Holy ...read more

    The real Christmas tree completed God’s gift to mankind--eternal and abundant life to any and all who will accept it.

    CHRISTMAS IS COMPLETE The gift is given! Matthew 27:39-56 The veil in the temple is ripped from top to bottom! Everyone has equal access to God! God has delivered his Christmas Gift to us.

    The Dynamite Of The Cross

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 14, 2007
    based on 8 ratings
     | 14,701 views

    The dynamite (power) of the cross is displayed in the reaction of the centurion at Calvary’s cross. This is displayed through the righteousness and royalty of Christ, the response of heaven and the witness of the centurion’s own heart.

    The Bible does not give us many facts about activities of the centurions. In fact, centurions are referred to only four times in the Bible. Matthew 8 records the story where the centurion asked for his servant to be healed. “Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the ...read more

    Evidence Demands A Verdict

     | 12,868 views

    This is part V in the series - 24. It is a first person narrative account from the perspective of the centurion at the cross. WARNING: It is graphic! The preaching idea: the evidence has been presented. What will you do with it?

    “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” Ultimately, that’s what the final 24 hours in Jesus’ life are about – God’s plan to redeem us to buy us back. We’ve heard from four characters who ...read more

    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.

    Crucifixion

     | 7,245 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

    Consider the hope that we have in Jesus by looking once again at the death and resurrection of Jesus. 1- the excruciating death 2- the exhilarating resurrection

    INTRO.- ILL.- In 1173 the Italian architect Bonnano Pisano began work on what would become his most famous project: A separately standing eight-story bell tower for the Cathedral of the city of Pisa.

    This is the fourth message in a Lenten series on"The Seven Last Words of Christ." I also have information on appropriate dramas that can be used as an introduction to this and the other six messages in the series.

    THE QUESTION THAT NEVER DIES --Matthew 27:46 (27:45-54) Psalm 27:10 assures us, "Though father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me"; but, in all likelihood, everyone of us has experienced times when we have felt as if we have been forsaken by God. This is true for both ...read more
