    Disgrace Of A Hanging

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Aug 13, 2022
     | 1,625 views

    There is no other disgraceful form of death than to be sentenced to death by hanging on a pole, by a tree or any other device to suspend a person between heaven and earth. Our Lord died in that manner. Jesus knew the type of shameful form of death he must endure; yet he went to the hanging anyway.

    On March 18, 1875, President Ulysses S. Grant nominated Judge Isaac C. Parker to hold the bench of the U.S. Court for the Western District of Arkansas. On May 4th, at the age of 36, Isaac arrived in Fort Smith, AR and held his first court on the 10th. He held that position for 21 years. He soon was ...read more

     | 1,547 views

    God’s plan to save us centered around declaring Jesus both Lord and Messiah.

    Both Lord and Messiah Text: Acts 2:22-36 Introduction 1. Illustration: “The cornerstone of God’s plan is the atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ” (Hugo Montoya). 2. As God always does, he had a plan B. He set us up with paradise, but that wasn’t good enough for us, we had to have more. So, we ...read more

    Agape: You Are My Friends --- Real Love.

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Apr 5, 2023
     | 1,035 views

    WHY THE CROSS? AGAPE-LOVE. The cross changes the nature of a believer from a servant to a friend. Love is not something that God does... LOVE IS WHAT GOD REALLY IS. The cross reveals the depth of God's love for humanity.

    AGAPE: YOU ARE MY FRIENDS… NO LONGER SERVANTS? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (YouTube: Wade Hughes) FAITH IS AN ACTION WORD… Is this real? I place a metal chair in front of the crowd. I talk about how strong the chair appears to be? Then I ask the crowd do you think ...read more

    Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

    THE REPROACHES OF JESUS. Psalm 69:7-18. PSALM 69:7. This is a cry akin to ‘My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?’ (cf. Psalm 22:1). Of course, we are aware that it was for OUR benefit, OUR salvation that Jesus died. But even before that, it was for the glory of God: that He might be seen to ...read more

    Mary waits beneath Jesus' cross.

    Mary had been rigid with tension all week. Rumors of plots had eddied around the streets of Jerusalem from the moment Jesus had entered the city at the beginning of the festival week. Everyone was edgy, watchful. There were more Roman soldiers around than usual, too, even for the Passover week when ...read more

    No Greater Love Series

     | 2,326 views

    To love the unlovely and the unloveable is inconceivable. But that is just exactly what God did for all of us. We, who were corrupt through sin became the beneficiaries of eternal life through the sacrificial death of Christ.

    What motivated God the Father to send His one and only cherished Son to earth to die for us? Why would the holy Son of God want to come into a wicked world? Moreover, what would prompt Him to give His life as a human sacrifice for sinful, wicked humanity? It is inherent in God’s nature to make ...read more

JOHN 8:21. “Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and ye shall die in your sins; whither I go, ye cannot come.” Again we are confronted with the awful possibility of seeking Jesus too late (cf. John 7:34). In our ...read more

    Friday - The Innocent One Is Condemned, Crucified, And Buried Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 4, 2022
     | 2,442 views

    On that Friday, of the last week of Jesus' earthly life, He was condemned, crucified, and buried. God's amazing plan for redemption and God's great love for us was on display through the awful events of that day. To follow Jesus requires that we pick up the cross daily and follow Him.

    A. “I stand before the cross and wonder. I stand before the cross and fear. I kneel before the cross and weep. I pray before the cross and rejoice. To know the cross is to know Christ. To feel the cross is to feel Christ. To gaze at the cross is to gaze at Christ. To carry the cross is ...read more

    A sermon for Good Friday.

    “Was I There?” John 18:1-19:42 With the death of Jesus on Calvary, we witness, amid the noise of soldiers and criminals, gawkers and passers-by, what looks like the final triumph of evil. All the ugliness and violence we can imagine takes place in the events that lead-up to the six hours during ...read more

    The modern church often celebrates decisions for Christ—countless altar calls, baptism numbers, and professions of faith. But is this what Jesus ultimately asked for? The Great Commission: A Call to Discipleship, Not Just Conversion!

    The modern church often celebrates decisions for Christ—countless altar calls, baptism numbers, and professions of faith. But is this what Jesus ultimately asked for? Did He commission His followers to make converts or disciples? A closer look at Scripture reveals a profound distinction between the ...read more

    Jesus Is Stripped Of His Garments.

     | 237 views

    The public stripping of Jesus therefore meant that he was no longer a someone; why was he stripped naked.

    Matthew 27, 35 – 37 They crucified him and then divided his clothes among them by throwing dice. After that they sat there and watched him. Above his head they put the written notice of the accusation against him: “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.” We all know that clothing not only protects ...read more

    A sermon about learning to find joy in the fact that we are Christ's joy.

    “You are the Joy of Christ” Hebrews 12:1-3 Have you ever wondered what it was like for God to put on skin and become a living, breathing human being? It couldn’t have been easy.
