    The 14th in a series going through all Christ endured leading up to the Cross. The series ends Easter Sunday with the Glorious Resurrection

    For the last fourteen weeks we have been looking at the things that they did to Jesus. Jesus endured so much. There are few if any that could have lasted through the punishment and abuse that Jesus took on. He was arrested, underwent false trials, was beaten, mocked, beaten, ridiculed, beaten, ...read more

    "It Is Finished" Series

     | 22,277 views

    "It is finished" is one of the most familiar statements that Jesus made from the Cross. But what does that statement from Jesus on the cross made so long ago mean to us today?

    Last week we saw in Jesus his physical and spiritual agony as he said, “I am thirsty.” In that statement we saw that Christ indeed did indeed experience the things that we did physically. He knew what it was like to have a thirst, he had experienced dehydration. He didn’t have some phantom body ...read more

    Jesus calls on us to deny our selves and take up our crosses and follow Him - just as He went to the cross. This sermon delves into that idea of denying the "self" a little more.

    March 12, 2006 Mark 8:31-38 31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. 32 He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and ...read more

    Psalm Of The Forsaken Series

    Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Apr 3, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,686 views

    This series looked at the cross from the OT point of view. Psalm 22 is a perfect prophecy of what would happen to Jesus on the cross. His forsakeness is our assurance we will never be rejected.

    PSALM OF THE FORSAKEN Anyone who reads Psalm 22 can easily see Jesus written all over it and in it. This Psalm is often called the Psalm of Jesus or even the fifth Gospel. It is probably the most amazing of all the Psalms in that we have such a clear picture of the crucifixion of Jesus. And David ...read more

    The only real freedom was paid at the cross! We find our real freedom at the cross in Jesus Christ alone! You were created for, chosen for and liberated for freedom through Jesus!

    FINDING FREEDOM The United States is all about “FREEDOM!” Over 200 years ago people came to this land to find “FREEDOM!” To find “FREEDOM” from “TYRANNY”, “FREEDOM” from “BONDAGE”, “FREEDOM” from “RELIGIOUS BONDAGE”, “FREEDOM” for “FREE SPEECH”, “FREEDOM” to “WORSHIP” as they see fit & as “GOD ...read more

    Easter morning, like the Indian summer of the year, has a tender veil of loveliness and mystery about it which links it with both worlds, and makes it a peculiarly appropriate pattern of a life hid with Christ in God. A classic sermon by A. B. Simpson.

    "He showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God" (Acts 1:3). Easter morning is the beginning of a unique and most tenderly interesting portion of our blessed Saviour’s life. It is the ...read more

    A sermon preached 10/18/2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa. Jesus teaches us that it’s not "all about me" in this world, but "All about Christ"

    Some of you have probably been in the mall and seen those T-shirt kiosks that are out in the hallway. I sometimes like to stop and look at the different sayings on some of them, as some times, I find the things printed on them somewhat amusing, while others are a good commentary on life.

    Christ is on that cross for six hours and we can imagine that during the time he endured that suffering his gaze must have fallen upon the people gathered at the foot of the cross. What did He see as he glanced at them. Message in Lent.
