    Just think, the cross was a place of execution. It was therefore considered a place of defeat---the final word for the executed and a warning from those who did the executing.

    WIN BY LOSING Text: I Corinthians 1:18 -25 1 Corinthians 1:18-31  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 ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 19, 2024
     | 2,096 views

    At this Easter time, we are looking at Simon of Cyrene who carried the cross for the Lord. He was God’s provision for the journey to the cross, and Jesus was the Father’s provision for the sins of the world. We examine Simon of Cyrene from the Gospel accounts and link with Isaac.

    HE BORE THE CROSS OF JESUS – WHO WAS SIMON OF CYRENE? – AN EASTER MESSAGE FOR GOOD FRIDAY [A]. INTRODUCING THE MAN SIMON OF CYRENE As commentators often like to do, there is a lot of speculation about Simon of Cyrene. There are so many ideas why he was in Jerusalem and what he was doing on the ...read more

    If these gates remain shut, it will limit our service to God and hinder our destiny fulfilment; but when these gates are opened, we will have exponential church growth, improvement in our church finances and abundant blessings.

    THE GATES MUST BE OPENED “When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him” (Acts 12:10) We shall ...read more

    Funeral Sermon: Many people have a longing inside and life seems dissatisfying. They are actually searching for home. Our true home is in heaven; but until we reach heaven, Jesus is our home. He is also our guide leading us home.

    I was praying about what I should share today, and I was searching for something that would address a wide range of needs, for those who are Christians and those who aren’t; and the Lord led me to 2 Corinthians chapter 5. Let me assure you that Marshall was a Christian. He had a personal ...read more

    Jesus came to lift us out of the pit of the muck and mire of this world in which people are being held captive. Instead, we can be held captive by the hope of Jesus, who through His death and resurrection lifts us up to eternal life. This is why every believer in Jesus Christ is a Prisoner of Hope.

    Prisoners of Hope Zechariah 9:11-12 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb03VOm2EGM I’ve been looking lately at Scriptures that speak to the coming Messiah and the gospel message, and when I read the Scripture that I will be sharing today, it has the fullness of the gospel within it, but not ...read more

    False teachers will attempt to mess up the truth about Christ. Their primary goal is to deceive. God's word, however, declares who Christ is and what He has done. We can know the truth!

    We've been involved in a series of messages concerning what we can be sure of. We have found so far that we can be sure of God's forgiveness if we ask. And we can be sure of a relationship with God if we walk daily with Him. Today I want to take it one step further. Can we be sure of ...read more
