    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

    This message explores what our reaction and devotion should be to the Body of Christ, based on the example of Joseph of Arimathaea, and his devotion to Christ’s physical body.

    Notice in v. 58 (KJV) that the Bible says, "He went to Pilate, and BEGGED the Body of Jesus." Jospeh pleaded, he beseeched on behalf of, he vocalized his desire for the body of Jesus. He begged for the body. Note the fact that God used one man. He does not always look for a group, an ...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
     | 4,560 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

    The parade of praises from Palm Sunday has been replaced by the cries coming from Calvary, as Jesus dies on the cross and despair begins to set in among the disciples.

    A little boy was sick on Palm Sunday and stayed home from church with his mother. When his dad returned from the service he was holding a palm branch. The little boy was curious and asked his father, “Why do you have that palm branch, dad?” He explained that when Jesus came into town, everyone was ...read more
