Why Did Jesus Have To Die? Series

Contributed by David Dewitt on Apr 3, 2004

The death of Jesus was not by accident or by surprise but rather was a part of the plan of the Father to redeem the world

Why did Jesus have to die? There was a greater purpose for the death of Jesus than many people realize and I do not believe that the movie truly pointed to this enough. However, the first scene Satan tells Jesus that no man can bear the world’s sin. This was the purpose of Jesus coming to this ...read more

The Power Of Generosity SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 10, 2023

When we give, we offer everything we have and possess in the Holy Spirit, bringing greater glory to God.

The Priority Of Life

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 20, 2007

Jesus did the will of the Father and finished His work. He knows His purpose in life, set the right priority, and has a passion for the lost. We want to know our purpose, set the priority and develop the passion exemplified by Christ.

Jesus says, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent me and to finish His work.” • Of course, this couldn’t mean that Jesus do not have to eat. • Jesus uses this incident to highlight to His disciples what is important. Someone said, “The greatest danger in life is in permitting the urgent ...read more
