    The chief cause of most of our failure and misfires when it comes to being a soldier of the cross is using someone else’s weapons or tools…and not the ministry to which we have been personally called and gifted by God.

    When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then it was said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."

    Last Hours Of Jesus' Life - Free From Passivity

    Contributed by Joanne Chan on May 18, 2018
     | 5,427 views

    In this sermon, we look at how the people mocked Jesus as he walked toward the hill of Golgotha, and contrast that with his encounter with Simon from Cyrene to see what it really means to carry the cross for Jesus.

    Central theme: Jesus denied himself and took the punishment for us with total dedication. We should take up the cross and follow Jesus, which means denying our old self (our comfort, your desires) and live for God because God is leading us to an even better place. Opening: Think of a place ...read more
