Cross The Jordan Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Dec 21, 2023

The Power Of The Cross Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Jan 1, 2023

The power of the cross is so great that we've chosen to make this cross the emblem. We look at that cross and we don't just think about death, we think about life.

I think there's something inside of all of our hearts that loves superheroes. I think that as I was growing up, I really liked the Old Testament Bible stories of Samson, David, Moses, and Joshua. Those are great stories. I can imagine the Jewish young men growing up, the disciples themselves ...read more

No Cross… No Crown

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 5, 2023

In our text today this is a conditional promise.

Notice the condition on which this promise is made. The Lord said, if we are faithful unto death, He would give us a CROWN OF LIFE. He did NOT say, “If you are faithful a few short weeks, months or years I will give thee a Crown of Life”. The promise is made to those who are faithful unto ...read more

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).

The Crucifixion of Jesus is at the centre of the Message of the Gospel.

Offense Of The Cross

Contributed by Boomer 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
