The Joy Of The Cross

Contributed by Carl Allen on Mar 3, 2008

The shame of the cross is frequently forgotten by modern-day Christians. Crucifixion was the ultimate in insult and public contempt for a criminal. It is impossible for us even to begin to understand the horror of the cross to the sinless soul of the i

The Joy of the Cross Hebrews 12:2 Intro We have heard many sermons on the sufferings of Christ on the cross.

The Cremation Of The World Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 25, 2010

Just as surely as God created the earth, cursed the earth, flood the earth, and visited the earth, so surely will God one day destroy and recreate the earth, whether the skeptics believe this or not.

The Cremation of the World (2 Peter 3:3-10) 1. All of us have probably done some day-dreaming about traveling through time. 2. What would it be like to visit the past.

Advent: God Will Deal With Evil

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 12, 2009

Zephaniah is a little read and a little known Old Testament Prophecy but it is an important message for the world and for the Church. God will deal with evil, and there will come a day when he will rejoice over us with singing!

Five years ago I was invited to preach on this Bible passage at a service of ‘Evensong’ in Winchester Cathedral. When I was given the Bible passage (Zephaniah chapter 3) my first reaction was Zeph and what? I quickly realised there was a pun crying out to be used and so for a few days I tried it ...read more
