    The Irreducible Cross

    Contributed by Bill Sullivan on Mar 23, 2005
    based on 19 ratings
     | 3,190 views

    As much as our culture, or we, might try, to remove it as a barrier...as much as the world might like to make it into only a symbol, and rob it of its eternal meaning, the cross is irreducible. It’s irreducible in time. It’s irreducible in eternity.

    The Irreducible Cross TCF Good Friday sermon March 25, 2005 I found this quote a few weeks ago in an article on a very popular TV preacher. This guy sells tickets to his national tour, and fills 15-20,000-seat arenas with his positive message. In this quote, he describes his own church, ...read more

     | 66,014 views

    Joseph’s coat of many colors could have been a symbol of so many things that his father Israel tried to teach him. The different colors in the Bible speak of so many significant things for our lives today as well.

    A Coat of Many Colors By Pastor Jim May All of you probably remember the story of Joseph and his coat of many colors. This morning, being Father’s Day, I want to speak to you about that coat and what it could signify to every father in the church today. Genesis 37:1-3, "And Jacob dwelt in the ...read more

    Paul tells us Romans 6 that Water Baptism has a 4 step process to it immersion, submersion, emergence and living the life of a baptized saint. The symbolism of Water Baptism points to saints who have chosen to die for the Lord and then they emerge resurre

     | 6,563 views

    Lord is saying to the people of the earth how He will restore them; this city of Jerusalem would be an example or sample of His glory. It will become a symbol of joy. They will praise God when the people see the goodness, prosperity, peace, and security that He provides to them.

    The Lord shall Provide Jeremiah 33:1-9 They shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it.’ Jeremiah 33:9 Good morning! Praise be to the Lord!

    Palm Branches And Willow Branches

    Contributed by Dean Morgan on May 1, 2017
     | 12,284 views

    The palm branch was a symbol of triumph and victory in Roman times. The willow represents weeping, sorrow, difficult times. When you come into my presence the Lord said He wanted you to bring a palm branch in one hand and a willow in another.

    We need to begin by looking at the context this verse is set in. This is part of the ceremony concerning the Feast of Tabernacles. This festival, which was instituted in grateful commemoration of the Israelites having securely dwelt in booths or tabernacles in the wilderness, was the third of the ...read more

    Acts records the breathtaking story of Paul's escape from Damascus, being lowered down the city wall in a basket. This aid to a new bold believer by fellow Christians is a symbol of how the church must disciple and aid new believers, missionaries, etc.

    Four Steps To Bearing Fruit

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 6, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,343 views

    John chapter 15 speaks of bearing fruit, which we often interpret as winning lost souls to Christ. However, winning people to Christ is only one meaning of the word fruit. Fruit symbolized the best result or sweetest prize in life.

    One time on the farm I was sitting on my porch admiring the rose bushes that were in bloom. A couple of weeks prior they had appeared to be dead. They hadn’t been pruned in over two years since my mom passed away. Each bush was a huge mass of dead branches. My wife asked me about them, and I ...read more

    NOTE: This Bible study on the end times comes from the perspective of a pre-tribulation Rapture. Tonight, we are going to look at Revelation chapter thirteen.

    The Incarnation Series

    Contributed by Jeffery Anselmi on Aug 16, 2024
     | 930 views

    In Classical Christian Art, the Gospel of John is depicted with the symbol of an Eagle. Why? Because his theology is lofty. He flies closer to the Son. We are going to look at a handful of those “lofty thoughts” that will lift you out of the mundane to new heights.

    INTRODUCTION - Today, we focus the message on a thought that sets Jesus above all others: the Word BECAME FLESH! - The word INCARNATION means the embodiment of God the Son in human flesh as Jesus Christ. - Throughout time, humans have looked for ways to see God or connect with Him. - Throughout ...read more

     | 14,067 views

    Micah’s symbol of the bald eagle, a sign of grief, applies to America. We are abandoning justice, kindness, and the humble walk with God. Our collapse is from within rather than from without. Yet God has sent a different kind of conqueror to redeem us.

    What we see is more powerful than what we hear. The visual always trumps the audible. I learned a long time ago that what people see is more powerful than what they hear.

    A short but challenging all-age talk using a giant home-made ’Christingle’ (an orange with a red ribbon wrapped around, four sticks with fruit & sweets on & a white candle - all symbolism). God loves the world and sent Jesus as the Light of the World.

    Zion is a symbol not only of Israel's past and future, but also of the born-again Christian's citizenship in the God's Kingdom. Today, as we look at our text, I want you to notice how God takes nobodies and turns the world's competitive, prestige-orient
