    Sermon # 13 - The Way Of The Cross Part 2 - Standing Around The Cross Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 10, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 487 views

    Around the cross of Jesus were many people and it is interesting to note how each of them responded to the Savior’s cruel death. We must examine ourselves too to make sure that we truly understand and value what the Loving Lord Jesus did for us on our behalf on the cross of Calvary.

    We read in John 19:17-18, He went out, carrying his cross, and came to "The Place of the Skull," as it is called. (In Hebrew it is called "Golgotha.") There they crucified him; and they also crucified two other men, one on each side, with Jesus between them. (GNB) That day when ...read more

    This interesting character from John chapter 9 is unnamed and we know him only as “a man born blind”. His road of faith was a unique one, where some of the time, he did not know what was happening. However Jesus knew, and had His hand on him the whole time.

    Law...then And Now

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Feb 2, 2009

     | 2,695 views

    How do the complex, often strange laws of the OT apply to today? What is the function of the law of God? And what does it mean to live lawfully when salvation is by grace?

    What do we do with the Law? As we read the Law of Moses in the Old Testament, we come across some strange rules nearly no one practices today. A.J. Jacobs wrote an intriguing book, The Year of Living Biblically, a chronicle of his attempt to actually follow all the many laws of the Bible (easily ...read more
