    The Dynamite Of The Cross

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 14, 2007
    based on 9 ratings
     | 14,874 views

    The dynamite (power) of the cross is displayed in the reaction of the centurion at Calvary’s cross. This is displayed through the righteousness and royalty of Christ, the response of heaven and the witness of the centurion’s own heart.

    The Bible does not give us many facts about activities of the centurions. In fact, centurions are referred to only four times in the Bible. Matthew 8 records the story where the centurion asked for his servant to be healed. “Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the ...read more

    Offense Of The Cross

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 18, 2022

     | 2,283 views

    Romans 1:16 says the gospel is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes. Power is something that is very invasive, and more than likely power will offend people. By design, the gospel contains a necessary offense.

    In Romans 1:16 the apostle Paul said, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.” How many of us can actually declare, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ?” How many of us truly believe that the gospel is “the power of ...read more

    The cross is the central fact of the Gospel. But not all people are aware or accept that fact. And this has been true from the beginning. Our text in I Corinthians 1:18-25 describes the message of the cross, and two words stand out: Foolishness and Power.

    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.
