    I Will Let You Choose

    Two criminals were nailed to the cross beside Jesus. Both were close to Him, but responded differently and thus ended worlds apart. Blessings flow when we admit our mistakes and open our heart to God with faith. Choose wisely.

    Calvary is the place of the three crosses. • Two criminals were led to be executed with Jesus that day. • They were in a way, privileged to be so close to Jesus during the last moment of His life, and their own lives. • That gave them the chance, the last chance to know the One who could save ...read more

    Many pastors do not want to preach on HELL fearing they’ll not appear relevant. It’s pressure from the culture to not speak anything negative. Apparently we have begun to deny hell. There’s an assumption that everybody’s going to make it to heaven somehow

    Opening illustration: Video of ‘HELL’ from center of the earth. Introduction: Many pastors do shy away from the topic of everlasting damnation. "It’s out of fear they’ll not appear relevant. It’s pressure from the culture to not speak anything negative. I believe we’ve begun to deny hell. There’s ...read more

    This sermon was written to help us celebrate the Crucified Christ as our King.

    Luke 23:35-43 (NIV) The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.” The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar and said, “If you are the king of the Jews, save ...read more

    Probably one of the most messed up Christian concepts is that of heaven, our final destination, which is nothing like the pictures created by our church traditions!

    Heaven – it is not what most people think Illustration The two professors stood nose to nose as they shouted at one another. “The craters on the moon are the result of volcanism,” cried one. “You are an idiot,” screamed the other, “the craters on the moon are ...read more

    This sermon is about man's foolishness versus God's wisdom and the cross. Later into the sermon this question "Whose fool are you?' is asked several times.

    WISDOM VERSUS FOOLISHNESS Text: I Corinthians 1:18 – 25   For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.  (19)  For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment ...read more
