    Before Jesus was crucified, the cross was a symbol of suffering and shame. After Jesus’ resurrection, the Disciples and the whole world came to see and understand the cross in a whole new way. It became a symbol of hope, new life, and victory.

    The great Bible commentator William Barclay described a tragic event that took place early in young Jesus’ life, when Jesus was somewhere around the age of 10 or 11. A zealot by the name of Judas the Galilean led a rebellion against Rome. He raided the Roman armory at Sepphoris, Mary’s hometown, ...read more

    Jesus, the Lamb of God, willingly gave His life to pay for our sins. He fulfilled the prophecies and became the ultimate sacrifice, providing us with eternal redemption.

    Hey guys, let's talk about something that might sound a bit weird at first - lambs. Yeah, you heard me right, lambs. But stick with me, okay? This is going to be good. You know how in the Bible, there's a lot of talk about lambs being used for sacrifices? Like, way back in the day, Adam and Eve ...read more

     | 2,793 views

    We must have respect for the symbols of our faith, especially the Holy Name of Jesus. We must also develop a respect for the traditions of our faith, like praying in the direction of the "orient," which is a symbol of the coming of Jesus

    The Holy Name of Jesus January 3, 2011 Spirit of the Liturgy “At the name of Jesus, every knee should bend, in heaven, on earth and under the earth.” The name, Jesus, or Yah-shuah, means “the Lord saves.” It is one of the principal symbols of the love of God for us, and ...read more

    A Christmas Sermon that points to the cross. The cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but it the main focus of God's message of salvation. But the cross is not a comforting symbol, so why would God use it as the symbol of our faith?

    OPEN: I once read about an evening chapel service at Christian summer camp. The preacher was forcefully telling the 4th & 5th graders how Jesus had been betrayed, arrested, beaten and ultimately died on the cross. His message was so powerful, that a hushed silence fell across the young ...read more

    Evil, symbolized by yeast, permeates our lives and our Churches: an unpopular interpretation of the parable.

    This is a short gospel message preached at a baptisimal service, using the account of Noah as symbol of baptism.

    Baptism There are many misconceptions about God, many people just thinking that He is just an old man on a cloud. People can see Him as a person to cry out to only when desperate, to use as a swear word when angry or upset, and as somebody to blame when things go wrong. Many have a much clearer ...read more
