    What was it like to stand near the cross of Jesus? We examine four people who stood near the cross and try to understand what it would have meant for them.

    “Near The Cross” Introduction: John 19:23-30 When Jesus was crucified I wonder how near the cross we would have stood? We sing that grand old hymn – “Jesus, keep me near the cross…there a precious fountain”, but how near the cross would we have been if we were there to witness Jesus’ ...read more

    The cross was in view even before there was a single tree from which to make it. We can identify a few purposes or functions of the cross in these verses: The Cross demonstrates God's Justice and Mercy, and Gives Him all the credit!

    Cross Purposes Romans 3:25-31 25 God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished-- 26 he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as ...read more

    The Power of the Cross Sunday Sermon Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 1 Cor 1:20-24 In Jesus’ day, eastern people looked for a sign of some sort to tell them that God was doing something huge for them.

    As Jesus stood trial before Pontius Pilate, Pilate had the opportunity to do the right thing, but his fear kept him from doing that. Had he been motivated by love instead, he could have stood.

    Love on the Cross Text: John 19:1-16 Before we dig in to our message today, let me just remind you of what’s happened so far. Jesus was betrayed by Judas and arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane. He was taken before Annas and Caiaphas, the Jewish religious leaders and charged with blasphemy. ...read more

    The cross, the center of Christianity, spans the divide of history and the bridge between fallen man and a holy God.

    I. INTRODUCTION The focus of our preaching must be on the cross of Christ. There are many ideas, philosophies, or political opinions that the enemy would like to have us focus our preaching on. But it is imperative that the "foolishness of the cross" be central to all that we declare. The ...read more

    Luke tells the story of the crucifixion from the viewpoint of the participants in the drama. As we see the death of Jesus from their perspective we become aware of the varied responses to the cross.

    This is the account of the crucifixion. It speaks to the sacrifice Jesus made for sinners.

    Paul reminds the Corinthians of his manner of preaching when he came to their city. His example is an excellent one for all present-day preachers.

    “The foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom” (1:25). Of course God is never foolish. But to the human mind, He appears to be foolish. Man says, “The God of the Bible does not follow our wisdom; therefore He must be foolish, He must not be believed.” · That God saves people who put their ...read more

    The Wisdom Of The Cross

     | 8,541 views

    Paul explains in these verses how some have come to reject the world’s opinion of the cross and see in it the wisdom of God.

    These verses are a continuation of the argument Paul began in 1:18: “The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” Paul is still talking about the cross in chapter 2. This fact is essential to a proper understanding of ...read more

    Tells how Jesus took symbols of death and terror, the sword and the cross, and changed them into symbols of life and love.

    “The Sword and the Cross” April 8, 2007 The Romans had perfected execution by crucifixion to an art. It was carried out in such a way as to inflict a maximum amount of pain on the condemned prior to death. One of the objectives was to strike terror into the enemies of Roman.

    At Thanksgiving, we think of many things we’re thankful for – our families, jobs, health, food, friends, church, being Americans, etc. Darlene Zschech mentioned one more – "Thank You for the cross, Lord." Let's look at that.

    THANKFUL FOR THE CROSS Gal. 6:14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. WHAT’S A MOTTO. As a new paratrooper, I was struck by all the T-shirts on base emblazoned with the motto "Death from above!"

    The cross of Jesus Christ glorifies God—by 1) Revealing God’s righteousness (Romans 3:25b–26), by 2) Exalting God’s grace (Romans 3:27–28), by 3) Revealing God’s universality (Romans 3:29–30), and by 4) Confirming God’s law (Romans 3:31).

    Romans 3:25b–31. 25 (whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith). This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the ...read more
