    According to a recent survey, a surprising number of people admitted that their Christianity would not be changed if Jesus hadn’t died on the cross. What importance was the cross to our faith?

    OPEN: A little boy was not exactly happy about going to church on Easter Sunday morning. His new shoes were too tight, his tie pinched his neck, and the weather outside was just too good to be cooped up inside. As he sulked in the back seat of the family car, his parents heard him murmuring: “I ...read more

    Though Jesus could have saved Himself on the cross with just a word, He could not save Himself and do for us what we so desperately needed. Look at the reasons why "Himself He Could not Save."

    "Himself He Could Not Save" Matthew 27:32-56 INTRODUCTION In these verses we come to the scene of Jesus’ death on the cross. None of the Gospel writers linger in any detail on the specifics of the cruelty of crucifixion. It was an endless struggle to push-up for breath until suffocation took ...read more

    It Is Your Responsibility

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 25, 2002
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,559 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

    This morning we come to the cross itself. We’re going to look at four points: His suffering, His sacrifice, the supernatural events, and finally, the significance of it all.

    A little boy was not exactly happy about going to church on Easter Sunday morning. His new shoes hurt, his tie pinched his neck, and the weather outside was just too good to be cooped up inside. As he sulked in the back seat of the family car, he complained to his parents: “I don’t see why we have ...read more

    Sermon preached Easter weekend in the first person - pastor dressed in period costume as Pontius Pilate - and members of the congregation interacting as characters in the Easter story.

    A look at the implications of the actions of some of those who participated in the crucifixion drama.

    THE CRISIS OF THE CROSS Matthew Chapter Twenty-Seven The life and ministry of Jesus Christ might be summed up with one simple statement, "He set His face toward Calvary."

    In order to understand Christmas through the eyes of the Father, you need to look at the Christmas Tree. Because, you see, Christmas is really the story of Three Trees.

    Christmas through the eyes of the Father Well, for most of us the family gatherings have passed, the meals have been shared, the gifts have been exchanged and several are probably ready for a long nap. If you are like me, you really love Christmas, but sometimes feel emotionally down the day ...read more
