Sermons on Shame Of The Cross:

Creation To The Cross

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 6, 2022

This message presents the basic salvation message all the way from Genesis to Jesus. It looks at the Garden of Eden, The Fall, The Separation, and The Atonement. The basic points in this sermon can be used in personal evangelism.

I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Creation to the Cross.” I want to share with you some basic points that I sometimes rely on when helping someone comprehend why we need salvation in Christ. In presenting the gospel we need to help a person understand and acknowledge that we’re sinners and ...read more

The Way Of The Cross

Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Jun 5, 2018

What does it mean to follow Jesus? It means that we be willing to give up everything to follow Him. The journey begins where we are at and ends where God wants us to be. It starts by way of the cross.

The way of the Cross Mark 8:34-38 Mark chapter 8:34-38 Prayer- Introduction- Last week we looked at some of the words of Jesus to his disciples. We found that He had the nerve to eat with sinners and associate with people that even the religious thought should be avoided. We saw the setting is ...read more

Cross The Line

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018

Our world has drawn new lines in the sand in an effort to separate us from those who need what only Jesus can give. Our world says – keep your religion to yourself – we don’t want it here. Jesus says cross the line, I'm here for you.

Cross the Line John Chapter 11 Jesus crosses the line and goes back to Judea where his friend Lazarus has died. Sometimes God will call us and ask us to cross the line. To go from a place of relative safety to a place of danger. The last time Jesus was in Judea they tried to kill Him by ...read more

The Cross Of Barabbas Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 25, 2018

All 4 gospels tell us the story of Barabbas (but we never learn the names of the other prisoners to die that day). Why? What is it about Barabbas that was so important that Scripture tells us his name?

OPEN: Someone once noted that Jesus borrowed just about everything he had while on earth. He borrowed a place for His birth, a house to sleep in, a boat to preach from, an animal to ride on when He entered Jerusalem, a room to meet privately with His friends for the Last Supper, and a tomb to be ...read more

The Cross Of Christ

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Mar 30, 2018

The Cross of Christ is one of division, decision, and dedication.

The Cross of Christ John 19:16-22 Perhaps the most familiar of all Christian symbols is the cross. Can you look in almost any direction without seeing a cross? They are on the top of steeples, hanging on the walls, and worn on gold chains around necks, often by those who have little if any concept ...read more

Contemplating The Cross Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Apr 16, 2019

What was significant about the death of Jesus on the cross?

We come now to the last day of our Lord’s life on this earth. This was the day He was to die for the sins of the world. That’s why He came. “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” - Mark 10:45 (Amplified) The idea behind ...read more

The Criminal On The Cross

Contributed by Brady Boyd on Apr 18, 2019

Jesus was dying and would participate in the resurrection for one big reason - to take back and restore what had been lost with Adam.

Boasting In The Cross

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 30, 2021

By the resurrection Jesus overcame sin and death; but the cross is where He made atonement for sin. It was the cross in which Paul boasted, and the cross was central to his missions and preaching; therefore, it should be important to us.

In Galatians 6:14, the apostle Paul declared, “God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” The resurrection is the power behind the Christian’s faith, for it was by the resurrection that Jesus ...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

The Burden Of The Cross

Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Feb 27, 2021

The cross of Christ is hard and difficult, but Jesus asks us to deny yourself, lose yourself, and take up our cross.

The Necessity Of The Cross

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 8, 2021

Whoever heard of listing the necessities of life and putting the cross at the top of the list? Yet, that is where it belongs. Without the cross there is no salvation, and without salvation life is worse than meaningless.

Over fifteen hundred years ago, on Good Friday, Ambrose the Bishop of Milan ascended to his pulpit in the Cathedral of Milan and said to his congregation, "I find it impossible to speak to you today. The events of Good Friday are too great for human words." Centuries later the great ...read more
