At The Foot Of The Cross

Contributed by Steve Wilson on Apr 2, 2013

What was it like to watch Jesus die? It would be great to hear from someone who was there. Let's hear from the centurion in charge of that crucifixion.

AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS [Monologue – Centurion] Introduction The old spiritual asks the question, “Were you there when they crucified my Lord?” Of course, physically, that is impossible since Jesus died on the cross nearly 2,000 years ago. Yet you do understand that He ...read more

A Trustworthy Saying Series

Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Nov 13, 2010

More trustworthy sayings. The real deal from scripture. 1- Salvation can come to the ignorant and unbelieving 2- Mercy can be shown to the worst of sinners 3- Glory will come to the eternal King

INTRO.- Trust me. I’ve heard it said that you should never trust a person who says, “Trust me.” It’s more like never trust a politician who says, “Trust me.” Someone said: Never trust a restaurant that has a sign that reads, “Mama’s home cooking.” Especially, if there are no cars at that ...read more

Double Cross

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 10, 2001

You can only get the right perspective on the cross if you look at it from two angles: from the angle of suffering and sacrifice, and the angle of resurrection and victory.

DOUBLE CROSS Did you know that some people are right-eyed and some people are left-eyed? It’s true. Point at something 10 or 20 feet away - that’s right, hold out your finger. Then close your left eye. If you don’t have to move your finger, you’re right-eyed. If you have to move your finger ...read more

Offense Of The Cross

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 18, 2022

Romans 1:16 says the gospel is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes. Power is something that is very invasive, and more than likely power will offend people. By design, the gospel contains a necessary offense.

In Romans 1:16 the apostle Paul said, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.” How many of us can actually declare, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ?” How many of us truly believe that the gospel is “the power of ...read more

Christ’s Cross And Our Cross

Contributed by Rajkumar Pulla on Mar 22, 2011

The cross today is a vivid symbol of a great past victory that involved horrible pain and crucifixion. When we see our shiny crosses that symbolize this past event, we must also remind ourselves that it was really an “Old Rugged Cross”, as the song says,

He who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it” (Matthew 10:38-39) What happened at the college called Virginia Tech in the eastern United States, was simply terrible. It appears that a ...read more

Shouts From The Savior

Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 19, 2018

The holiness of God recoils from even the smallest sin. When God the Father looked down and saw His Son on the cross, He didn’t see His Son; He saw the sin that He was bearing.

[Read these passages with lights off] Zephaniah 1:14-15: “The great day of the LORD is near, near and hastening fast; the sound of the day of the LORD is bitter; the mighty man cries aloud there.

Jesus Only Speaks a few words while he is on the cross...this short sermon looks into what Jesus was going through during that time of sacrifice and pain...and what he says to the few disciples who witnessed this horrific event and the last words of their Rabbi...
