    The fiery serpent raised up by Moses in the wilderness is one of the most striking types of the cross of Christ in all of scripture.

    "Then they set out from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the people became impatient because of the journey. The people spoke against God and Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we ...read more

    Last week we looked at our need to examine the cross and our decision to follow Jesus. Today we look at the fact that God examines us and he enables us to examine ourselves. It's time to do a cross-examination.

    Jesus made eternal life dependent upon what we eat!

    Let’s open our Bibles to John chapter 6. One time there was a rich young man that came to Jesus and asked “What good thing must I do to get eternal life?” In other words, “what must I do to live forever?” And I hope you agree that this is the most important question we could ever ask, too. I had ...read more

    A message that examines the spiritual truth that Christ was unclothed so that we might be clothed upon.

    Introduction: Today we continue our studies through the most exciting but also the most dreadful story in all the Word of God - the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. I started off with the idea of comparing the four soldiers of verses 23-24, and the four saints (women) of verses 25-27. But as I ...read more

    Perhaps we don’t understand that ancient mentality of hostility towards the preaching of the cross but the Apostle Paul did. And though he KNEW that people regarded the idea of God on a cross as vile and shameful, not only did he preach it, but he glor

    GLORY IN THE SHAME! Galatians 6:14 Today, at least in Western society, the cross is a perfectly acceptable symbol, a rather harmless token of the Christian faith.

    Most of us know the crucifixion story and what it means. But have you ever considered what Jesus was thinking and feeling on the cross? It may surprise and comfort you.

    Chapter 19 of John is the culmination of Jesus’ life. It is the high point in the story of the universe. Everything before leads up to this event and everything after points back to it. Much of the debate here seems to revolve around whether Jesus is a king and of what? That’s a question each of ...read more

    Even as Jesus suffered offense at the hands of others, every Christian shall likewise suffer. How we respond to this offense is important.

    Don't Offend MY Children, or Else! Mark 9:38-50 It is a bit odd that this week’s gospel text from the lectionary begins with John’s response to what Jesus had just said. It is poor practice to start in the middle of a paragraph. Before we can analyze this text, we need to ask: “What was John ...read more
