    1. What does it mean for God to suffer? 2. What does it mean for us to suffer?

    I was watching the ABC special “The Path to 9/11” a few years ago as it showed two Arab men talking in a restaurant in the U.S. They were planning the plot on the World Trade Center.

    GETTING RID OF OUR PAST SIN IS AS EASY AS REMEMBERING THAT JESUS NAILED IT TO HIS CROSS

    NAILED TO THE CROSS--Colossians: 2:13-15 One of the things that frustrate me the most about the Christian Life is listening to defeated Christians. We either have habits in our life that we seem to think that we can’t overcome. Or we have placed so many added restrictions to our ...read more

    The remedy for division rooted in pride is the proper appreciation for the Cross.

    Introduction: A. I love the story of the two men were digging a ditch on a very hot day. 1. One said to the other, “Why are we down in this hole digging a ditch when our boss is standing up there in the shade of a tree?” 2. “I don’t know,” responded the other. “I’ll ask him.” 3. So he climbed ...read more

    Paul concludes his Epistle by summarizing his arguments and by glorying in the Cross, which makes us free.

    Free at last! Galatians is all about freedom…but if we’re not careful we can abuse it. Freedom is not a license to sin. Nor is it a lack of responsibility. New Hampshire’s motto is “Live free or die.” Our motto as Christians should be “Live holy or ...read more

    What was it like to stand near the cross of Jesus? We examine four people who stood near the cross and try to understand what it would have meant for them.

    “Near The Cross” Introduction: John 19:23-30 When Jesus was crucified I wonder how near the cross we would have stood? We sing that grand old hymn – “Jesus, keep me near the cross…there a precious fountain”, but how near the cross would we have been if we were there to witness Jesus’ ...read more

    As Jesus stood trial before Pontius Pilate, Pilate had the opportunity to do the right thing, but his fear kept him from doing that. Had he been motivated by love instead, he could have stood.

    Love on the Cross Text: John 19:1-16 Before we dig in to our message today, let me just remind you of what’s happened so far. Jesus was betrayed by Judas and arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane. He was taken before Annas and Caiaphas, the Jewish religious leaders and charged with blasphemy. ...read more

    The Corinthians Christians had become arrogant, crowing like a rooster. To use a Texas idiom, they had become “all hat and no cattle.” In the words of Glenn Campbell, “A Rhinestone Cowboy.”

    It’s a message from Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians and it represents a journey of sorts. A journey to an another land – and older land – where the goals of Christianity were not set by marketers in order to make it more palatable. Instead, the agenda was set by prophets who sought holy, ...read more

    Life circumstances may be so that not only do we not ask for a cross but also we may not have a choice in whether we bear it or not.

    The Unexpected Cross Pastor Ken Crow Matthew 27:32 (King James Version) 32And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. In our Christian life there are many crosses. There is our cross that Jesus says we must bear if we are to be his ...read more
