    What Manner Of Man Is This?

    Contributed by Val Black on Apr 11, 2022
     | 3,212 views

    Life is like crossing a sea. One of the things we learn as we cross the sea of life is that it's not always smooth sailing. But every born-again Christian has Someone in the boat Who will calm the storm and guarantee they will get to the other side.

    (I cannot in full honesty claim credit for this message. Of course, the Holy Spirit should always be credited but the main idea and most of the passages are from a message I came across many years ago. I do not remember where or who it was from except it spoke to me and I knew it was anointed. ...read more

    At this point Jesus began to instruct His disciples more fully as the time drew near for going to the cross. The Pharisees had been treating the tax collectors and sinners who crowded around Jesus with contemp. He warns the disciples not to do the same.

    Perea Lessons on Service, Faith and Influence Luke 17:1-10 Jesus Instructs His Disciples on Forgiveness (Luke 17:1-2) Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

    What if you spent thirty minutes in solitary thought about one of these seven statements? What if you spent thirty minutes in conversation about one or two of these seven statements? Do a wide sweep in your mind just now and see all those witnessing His crucifixion. Take it all in.

    Today is Palm Sunday, the day Jesus Christ enters into the city of Jerusalem to make this memorable last week before His crucifixion. This week means so much as it culminates in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The cross of Jesus means so much even all these years later. Mary George was martyred ...read more

    Because of what Christ did on the Cross, there are three things that are finished for humanity. Because of what He did, the price He paid and the fact that we celebrate His resurrection today, we can rejoice in the fact that these things are completed for you and I today.

    Not Worth Believing

    Lent Midweek 5: "If you are the Son of God, come down from the Cross." The words of those who mocked Jesus. Ironically, by staying on the Cross, the Lord demonstrated his power. If He had come down - He would not have been worth believing.

    Note: This is an original sermon, however it is a message based on a Lenten series titled, "The Ironies of the Passion." This message was developed from an outline provided at a Lenten workshop where it was offered along with other resources for use during Lenten worship. Never kick a man while He ...read more
