    Sin is universal! When Jesus said, Father, forgive them... just what was He asking the Father to do...and is there any connection with us in the 21st century?

    Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing. Luke 23:34 (NIV) Jesus answered him, I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise. Luke 23:43 (NIV) Menelik was the king of Ethiopia from 1899 to 1913. He heard about a new device that could be used ...read more

    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

    This message focuses on four gifts given to each of us because of Jesus' finished work on the cross. This material was inspired by "Search for Significance" written by Robert McGee who shared the four answers from Jesus to false beliefs.

    Because of the Cross I Corinthians 1:18 CHCC – September 8, 2013 (Outlline inspired by Robert McGee, "The Search for Significance") INTRODUCTION: The God of the Bible is the complete opposite of the kinds of gods human beings tend to invent.

    God gave four specific instructions to Joshua for crossing the Jordan River. These instructions will help us cross the rivers of our lives.

    I grew up in the little community of Munford, AL. My granddaddy owned a small farm that provided a place of enjoyment, hard work, and learning as I grew up. We were fortunate to have Cheaha Creek that flowed through the farm. About three acres was across the creek and we had one place that we’d ...read more

    What was it like to watch Jesus die? It would be great to hear from someone who was there. Let's hear from the centurion in charge of that crucifixion.

    AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS [Monologue – Centurion] Introduction The old spiritual asks the question, “Were you there when they crucified my Lord?” Of course, physically, that is impossible since Jesus died on the cross nearly 2,000 years ago. Yet you do understand that He ...read more

    What difference does it make whether it’s Good Friday or Easter Sunday? The difference is that Good Friday represents everything AWEFUL in life and Easter Sunday represents everything AWESOME in life.

    Tony Campolo tells a story of preaching on Easter at his church in Philadelphia. He got up to preach to his predominantly black congregation – and he was “ON”! The folks were encouraging and hepping him along, and he got excited. He could hear some saying, “Help him Jesus!” And then he ...read more

    Of Snakes And Crosses

     | 39,308 views

    Lent 4: The Lord has prescribed the method whereby we must be saved. It might seem odd - maybe crazy - like gazing at a snake on a pole... or a Savior on a Cross.

    Folks were fussing and griping. They were angry and upset and - as is almost always the case under these circumstances - they began to criticize. Soon the words became heated. The harshness of the comments spoken was only thinly veiled. The angry words spoken were like painful, barbed darts – ...read more

    Find the highest honor in the lowest place. That’s where Jesus found it, and that’s where you will find it, as well.

    The Brand Of The Cross Series

    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,425 views

    It is the cross of Christ which is the object at once of His shame and His glory. This classic sermon by A. B. Simpson looks first at the marks of the Lord Jesus, and then at their reproduction in His followers.

    "From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus" (Gal. 6:17). The word marks in this text is translated by Rotherham, "brand marks." The world describes a mark that has been branded into the flesh, and suggests the idea of the cruel practice of certain ...read more

    What the cross means.

    Introduction We return to our letter this morning. Paul has been addressing the matter of divisions in the church (v. 10).
