    A reflection on the criminal's faith in Luke 23:40-43

    A condemned criminal hangs on a cross next to Jesus. He, like all who are crucified, has been brutalized. He’s been stripped of his clothes and deprived of dignity. He’s bleeding profusely due to long, sharp nails having been driven into his hands and feet. He’s thirsty, hungry, lonely, and is ...read more

    We Share In Christ's Pain On The Cross

    when someone is murdered, it catches all of us up short, and when the violence is carried out on children, especially as they are praying on the second day of school, no words can ever suffice to bring us back to anything like normalcy.

    Twenty-second Sunday in Course 2025 Humility, yes. I suspect that many preachers in this country have been humbled by the recent events at a Catholic church and school in Minneapolis last week. Typically we work hard on a homily for some days and often feel proud of our work when we come to the ...read more

    Crossing The 'red Sea Moments' For Deliverance

    Contributed by Antonio Manaytay on Oct 25, 2025
     | 360 views

    The crossing of the Red Sea was not just an escape from Egypt — it was the crossing of deliverance. It was the line between bondage and freedom, between slavery and salvation, between despair and destiny.

    When Moses and the Israelites stood before the Red Sea, they were trapped between two impossibilities — an angry army behind them and a vast sea before them. Yet in that moment of desperation, God made a way where there was no way. The crossing of the Red Sea was not just an escape from Egypt — ...read more

    Remembering the No kings protests. in one sense they are right. Jesus is the true king another case of mistaken idenity.

    Paul encourages the Philippians and us to live according to his pattern.

    Albert Einstein once said, “The universe is not merely more complicated than we can understand. It’s more complicated than we can IMAGINE.” That’s an interesting thing to think about; how this whole Universe was formed by design. What a complex design it is! God had it ...read more

    Jesus knew His identity, and gained strength to take the cross through prayer. Through this He was glorified. We will only see the glory of God if we will also take up the cross and embrace God's will for our lives, finding our identity in Him.

    918 And it happened, as He was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him, and He asked them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” 19 So they answered and said, “John the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.” 20 He said to them, ...read more

    The Truth About Truth

    It may take a crucified church to bring a crucified Christ before the eyes of the world. Christ’s cross makes foolish human wisdom. The cross insults our intelligence (too simple), ability (nothing to do), and ambition (not glory for self).

    Opening illustration: When Harvard University was founded, its motto was Veritas Christo et Ecclesiae —“Truth for Christ and the Church.” Its crest showed three books, one face down to symbolize the limitation of human knowledge. But in recent decades that book has been turned ...read more

    The cross was perpetually present to the mind of Christ. He was always moving toward that cross as a Victor, not a victim. He was always moving toward the ultimate final victory over sin and death

    "Father into Thy Hands" Luke 23:46 The cross of Jesus Christ is the center of everything. Early in the Gospels we hear Christ declaring that He set His face steadfastly toward Jerusalem and the cross. His entire life was spent in the shadow of the cross.

    The vision going into 2017 is “Pursuing to be a Disciple of Jesus.” Are we willing to position and place ourselves in that spot where the Spirit of God will disciple us.

    Opening illustration: I recently read the true story about a preacher who was standing at the door shaking hands as the congregation departed. He grabbed one man by the hand and pulled him aside. The preacher said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!" The man replied, ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 17,083 views

    We don't mind going to the cross as long as we can take a number of comfortable and convenient things along with us. Jesus does not call us to comfort. He calls us to die.

    Not A Fan Part 4: The Comfortable Cross January 28, 2018 1 King 12:25-33 Luke 9:51-62 Some of the ideas in this sermon came from Kyle Idleman’s series Fan or Follower which we did at our church.

    if Jesus is not raised from the dead, this commission in verse 19 is meaningless.
