    This morning we come to the cross itself. We’re going to look at four points: His suffering, His sacrifice, the supernatural events, and finally, the significance of it all.

    A little boy was not exactly happy about going to church on Easter Sunday morning. His new shoes hurt, his tie pinched his neck, and the weather outside was just too good to be cooped up inside. As he sulked in the back seat of the family car, he complained to his parents: “I don’t see why we have ...read more

    based on 11 ratings
     | 6,595 views

    Altars are places where often alterations are made. They are constucted primarily as places of sacrifice and surrender. This sermon examines their role in the church as a means of calling worshippers to a level of commitment.

    ALTARS AND ALTERATIONS Gen 22:1-14 Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!" "Here I am," he replied. 2 Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah.

    Put on the full armor of God starting with the Belt of Truth, who is Jesus Christ, then put on the Breastplate of Righteousness, which is a clean heart provided by Christ’s sacrifice.

    We read in Ephesians 3:10, Christ intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms!

    Be willing to make sacrifices so that the will of God can be accomplished through your life. We are called to carry our own cross and to renew such a commitment every day.

    Crosses are everywhere these days.

     | 64,209 views

    By using the analogy of football during the super bowl season this sermon seeks to challenge Christians to a higher level of discipleship through desire, discipline, commitment, sacrifice, and character.

    FIVE TRAITS OF A SUPER BOWL CHRISTIAN In a few minutes a game of great importance will be played. Large men will face off across a line of scrimmage.

    Through the Mercies of God and the sacrifice of Jesus, we have the promise of salvation but God’s Grace provides us so much more: things that accompany salvation.

    Rest in Christ 07/18/04 AM Text: Hebrews 4:11-16 Introduction This lesson is grown from thoughts which began during our Sunday morning Bible class where we are undergoing a study of the book of Hebrews.

    The Camel Squeezed Out From Tail To Snout

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Oct 10, 2007
     | 2,750 views

    Jesus call to discipleship is a call of sacrifice. Anything that stands in the way of answering that call must be deserted. This truth is shown through the encounter of Jesus with the rich young ruler.

    Little did I know when I planned this sermon, that we would have a live camel at VBS this year. At any rate, I want to tell you a story. It is the story of the ill-fated Franklin expedition to the Arctic in 1845. That odyssey was a turning point in Arctic exploration because of its well-publicized ...read more

     | 7,959 views

    If the Christian is going to be a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God Paul calls us to submit to the governing civil authorities. This sermon looks at what that looks like for the Christian.

    Submission To The Authorities Romans 13:1-7 Read Text: Romans 13:1-7 INTRO: How many of us like to submit? Doesn’t even the thought of submitting or of submission almost repulse us? I know that we have a lot of competitive people in this body of believers. We have business men and ...read more

    Sin is like a stubborn stain. It is difficult to remove. Money and earthly sacrifices cannot remove sin. The stain of sin can only be washed off with the blood of Jesus.

    TEXT: PSALMS 51:1, 14-17 (NLT). "Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins...
