Simon The Cross Bearer

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Apr 14, 2016

Lessons from Simon the Cross Bearer, the man that carried Christ's Cross to Golgotha.

In Luke 23:26, we read: “When they led Him away, they seized a man, Simon of Cyrene, coming in from the country, and placed on him the cross to carry behind Jesus.” I want to comment on this situation and make points that we can apply to our lives today. First, let's understand ...read more

Simon Who Was Inconvenienced Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 8, 2020

Simon of Cyrene is on his way into Jerusalem when his plans are inconveniently changed when he is called upon to carry the cross of Jesus. The “silent witness” of Simon calls us to think about the ways Jesus uses the inconvenient moments of life to draw us closer to Himself.

Message Silent Witnesses Mark 15:21 Simon Who Is Inconvenienced Even before Jesus is crucified He has faced a brutal ordeal. Looking at some verses in Mark 14 and 15 Mark 14:65 Some of the Sanhedrin began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And ...read more

Peter's Slow Fade

Contributed by Victor Ramlall on Dec 27, 2012

Our failure does not happen suddenly but is the result of a continuous gradual process of self will, arrogance, overconfidence and a refusal to listen to the Lord often preferring to remonstrate with Him and give Him advice!

Mark 14:27-31 KJV And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. 28 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. 29 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be ...read more

A Look On Their Lives And Death. Series

Contributed by William D. Brown on Apr 1, 2014

The Bible does not give us a record about the ways in which the apostles died, other than James, -- We must rely on early church historians and secular historians as well, but both seem to be in agreement and both are concidered reliable.

#3~ THE APOSTLES 12-21-13 Today we'll continue with our study to do with the apostles, and bring a few thoughts on their lives and death. -- James the son of Zebedee, and brother of John, is the only apostolic martyrdom recorded in ...read more

Back, Back, Way Back

Contributed by Dan Mahan on Oct 22, 2006

A look at how Simon changed to Peter, the rock; how he changed from following Christ from a distance to stepping forward in His committment to Christ. A challenge on committment to all believers.

Back, Back, Way Back Rev. Dan Mahan “Peter was following far behind.” Luke 22:54 In Matt. 16:13-19, Jesus asked the disciples a question. “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” The response varied: “Some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah or Jeremiah or one of the ...read more

The Rock That Broke

Contributed by Lee Houston on Nov 3, 2024

I accepted Christ many decades ago, and ever since, I have tried my best to love my neighbor as I love myself. Yet, there are times that I fail. That can happen to the best of us. It may be something we say or do that is stupid or not thoughtful or inconsiderate.

Jesus And Peter Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jun 5, 2014

If we learn from Peter – hear the straight talk of Jesus to Peter and to us we can avoid a lot of the pitfalls and mistakes Peter made. If we yield to the straight talk of Jesus – listen – repent – change course then we too can make a difference for the Kingdom of Heaven.

Theme: Let’s Talk Series 3: Straight Talk What is it? It’s like when your spouse asks if the new outfit makes her look fat and you say, “Yes, you look like you gained 30 pounds!” It’s like when your wife asks if you love her new haircut and you say, “No you ...read more

No Way To Treat The Pope Series

Contributed by James Mccullen on May 18, 2005

Why would Paul stand up to Simon Peter and correct him if he were the Pope? It is my desire to preach the Bible during the entire sermon. Please note all points and sub-points are tied to the scripture. This sermon is expository in style, you will have

THAT’S NO WAY TO TREAT A POPE! Gal. 2:10-21 NASB {11} Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed; {12} for before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those ...read more

What Are We Going To Do

Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 23, 2015

We need to be more like the disciple Andrew, who, while he didn't write any of the books in the Bible, led people to Jesus - people like Simon Peter and the boy in the parable of the loaves and fish. Following Jesus is the source of our power to change.

An honest man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the traffic light turned yellow just in front of him. The man did the right thing stopping at the crosswalk even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The ...read more

Failure Is Not Forever

Contributed by S. Louis Rouse on Apr 10, 2018

Peter failed the Lord in an immense way but was completely restored by Jesus
