    The cross has become a Christian symbol ... a thing of beauty.

    The Beauty of The Cross Galatians 6:14 But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. (NKJ) The cross has become a Christian symbol ... a thing of beauty. A. Buy them to wear around the neck. You can ...read more

    Preaching Of The Cross

    The Apostle Paul said he was not an elegant speaker; he did not desire to use flattering words to draw attention to the cross. It is a shame too many preachers today feel they must use flattery or jokes to attract or keep an audience.

    I have heard many preachers over the span of my life. My father said they began attending church assemblies on Easter just a few days after my birth. Over sixty years have I been in an assembly hearing preaching. Think about the number of years and the many preachers you have heard. You have heard ...read more

    Glory In The Cross

     | 2,383 views

    When it comes to salvation, can we boast about anything? The Apostle Paul chose to boast about just one thing, and it had nothing to do with himself.

    The book of Galatians was written by the Apostle Paul to combat false teaching that the Galatian Christians had believed. Paul says to them, “who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth?” The Judaizers were the culprits, stating that circumcision was essential for salvation along with ...read more

    It is the burdern of cross that the Son of Man carried. Not the wooden beam. It is the godless attitudes that result in Godless living that caused Jesus to go to the cross. Jesus took the burden so we could expereience the break through of the resurrec

    Glorying In The Cross

     | 2,624 views

    According to Merriam Webster, glory in something means to show joy or pleasure because of (something). What do we glory in? Is it temporary or eternal? When you glory in the cross you can have joy and faith in the very thing that was used to bridge the gap between God and man.

    This is the conclusion to Paul’s letter to the Galatians. Not long after the gospel was preached here and people were saved, there came in a group of people who were called Judaizers. They taught that is was not enough for a person to just embrace Jesus Christ, but that they also had to embrace the ...read more

    This message presents the basic salvation message all the way from Genesis to Jesus. It looks at the Garden of Eden, The Fall, The Separation, and The Atonement. The basic points in this sermon can be used in personal evangelism.

    I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Creation to the Cross.” I want to share with you some basic points that I sometimes rely on when helping someone comprehend why we need salvation in Christ. In presenting the gospel we need to help a person understand and acknowledge that we’re sinners and ...read more

    The Wisdom Of The Cross

    Contributed by Jonathan Mcleod on Apr 12, 2005
    based on 15 ratings
     | 8,803 views

    Paul explains in these verses how some have come to reject the world’s opinion of the cross and see in it the wisdom of God.

    These verses are a continuation of the argument Paul began in 1:18: “The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” Paul is still talking about the cross in chapter 2. This fact is essential to a proper understanding of ...read more

    Jesus meets our deepest needs with forgiveness and healing, responding to faith—both ours and others’—with love greater than we can imagine.

    If you listen closely, you can almost hear the shuffle of sandals and the rustle of robes in that little house in Capernaum. The room is stuffed shoulder-to-shoulder with people who showed up hungry for more than bread. They want words that mend, a voice that understands, a touch that makes all ...read more
