    Contributed by Steven Chapman on Jun 22, 2015
     | 6,783 views

    This good Friday message speaks of the abandonment that Jesus expresses when God turns away from him. But it is loneliness that has meaning and purpose -- our salvation.

    Hearing The Loneliness Of The Cross Matthew 27:45-46 Usually, we have the cross posted at the top. Today, we have it right up front, some place that it can not be overlooked. On Tuesday, as the Worship Team prepared for rehearsal someone asked about the cross. It was said that it looks so much ...read more

    We are secure in our faith. John tells us that those who walk away from the faith were never a part of the faith to begin with.

    In 1936, when delays slowed construction, over $130,000 was invested in a novel safety feature: a vast net -- similar to a circus net -- suspended under the Golden Gate Bridge. The safety net extended ten feet wider than the bridge’s width and fifteen feet further than the roadway’s length. It gave ...read more

It’s a passage that highlights three profound aspects of the cross: The Cross as a Ransom for All, The Cross as a Call to Servanthood, and The Cross as a Model for our Lives.

    We're fighting an enemy we can't see... but then we can't see Covid either. World rulers have geared up to fight Covid and will not be satisfied until that enemy is defeated. Are we as committed to defeating our enemy?

    The fact that the church needs a foundation can not be disputed. Let’s take a look at the way the foundation is laid as well as the purpose and types of stone used.

    Psalms 118:22, "The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the Corner." Ephesians 2:20, "And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief Cornerstone." 1 Peter 2 4-8, "To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed ...read more

    Seventh Sunday In Ordinary Time- The Opening Up Of A Relational Space By Forgiveness.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 11, 2022
     | 1,237 views

    Forgiveness is a conditional gift offered that opens a relational space that expects a reciprocal response.

    There used to be a sign in the Princeton University Book Store basement which said: "Love your enemies—it will drive them crazy." Clever but love of enemies and forgiving, commanded by Jesus in our Gospel this Sunday, is not hoping that the other person will change or trying to be ...read more

    This is the second sermon in a series of three on "The Journey To The Cross" which deals with brokenness in terms of surrendering our rights from The Exchanged Life perspective.
