    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 19, 2024
     | 1,845 views

    At this Easter time, we are looking at Simon of Cyrene who carried the cross for the Lord. He was God’s provision for the journey to the cross, and Jesus was the Father’s provision for the sins of the world. We examine Simon of Cyrene from the Gospel accounts and link with Isaac.

    HE BORE THE CROSS OF JESUS – WHO WAS SIMON OF CYRENE? – AN EASTER MESSAGE FOR GOOD FRIDAY [A]. INTRODUCING THE MAN SIMON OF CYRENE As commentators often like to do, there is a lot of speculation about Simon of Cyrene. There are so many ideas why he was in Jerusalem and what he was doing on the ...read more

    This sermon looks at both what it means, and also what it does not mean, for us to take up our cross for Jesus.

    Jesus said to his disciples and to the crowd following him, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (8:34). It’s hard for us to hear those words in the same way that those following Jesus heard it. The context is that Peter has just recognised that ...read more

    We must bear in mind that there’s no shortcut to Calvary and to Heaven. There’s only one way, that is denying yourself and following Jesus Christ.

    Introduction: Whoever wants to follow the Lord and becomes a disciple pays a great price. As believers we have five callings. First, we were called to salvation. Then we became babes in Christ born with a new spirit of obedience. As we progressed we are called to be members of the body of Christ, ...read more

    This message is to encourage the church to never give up on the mission. Regardless of the circimstances that may arise, we should hang on to God’s unchanging hand and to take that much needed step to recieve our promised blessing.

    NEVER GIVE UP Acts 14:1-7 One thing we have to learn as Christians is, regardless of how hard things get or how disheartening they may become, we must not give up. I’ve discovered in this vocation as a pastor, is that every pat on the back is not for ...read more
