Jesus Is Crucified Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021

Had you gone to Jerusalem that day so long ago, and had you gone just outside the wall to the north, out through the Damascus gate, there you would have seen a rocky hill. And on that hill, you would have seen three crosses, with three men on those crosses.

Good morning to Cross Church and happy Palm Sunday to you. Turn to Luke 23 with me this morning. The universal symbol of Christianity is the cross, the old rugged cross. While the empty tomb is the foundation of Christianity, the cross is the focus of Christianity. And while I cannot take all of ...read more

Valentine’s Day—it’s All About Love Series

Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Feb 7, 2023

Tradition has it that Valentine was a third century martyr who demonstrated his love through his life and sacrificial death. We all should aspire to this kind of love. When we love God with all our heart we can enjoy God's unconditional, sacrificial love.

There is only one kind of love that actually makes a difference. There is only one kind of love that ...read more

Look And See If There Be Any Sorrow Like My Sorrow – Focus On Nigeria Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 7, 2024

And 2014 marked a nearly 40 year low in the number of new criminals placed on death row. While the method of execution may have changed, ...read more
