Dead Man Walking

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 24, 2019

In this passage, Paul delivered a riveting message - man apart from Christ is dead in sin. A dead man is hopeless to do anything to improve his situation - he's dead! Our only hope is found in Christ.

"The God Who Feeds My Soul”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Jul 17, 2024

St. Augustine noted that every person has a God shaped hole in his or her soul. People attempt to fill that cavity with lots of things but Jesus the true bread from heaven. Deep in every human soul is a search for “Harmony” with our Creator, that was lost in the Garden of Eden.

Understanding Christ's Thirst SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 7, 2023

"I thirst" is a statement from the cross that was only recorded by John in his gospel. I believe there were at least three reasons why God inspired John to record that statement. This sermon explores those three reasons.

Last week, we explored the fourth statement from the cross, where Jesus cried out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" This cry revealed the spiritual agony Jesus experienced as He took on the sins of the world. Today, we will focus on the fifth statement, recorded only by John in his ...read more

It's hard, and risky, to describe to people your healthy, strong, radically committed relationship with God. David pulls back the curtain, and talks about how his relationship in a transparent, helpful way.
