     | 1,709 views

    This is a promise we can stand on. Jesus, who endured all things for us, offers to us His strength by which we can endure.

    Introduction Some years ago, a 14-foot bronze crucifix was stolen from Calvary Cemetery in Little Rock, Arkansas. It had stood at the entrance to that cemetery for more than 50 years. The thieves figured that the 900-pound cross probably brought about $450 and so they cut it off at its base and ...read more

    Forced Cross Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Oct 8, 2023
     | 1,407 views

    The call to serve God becomes a forced cross when the going gets tough. We love smooth running of life. But through challenges we meet God’s power and miracle working hand. Let’s keep fighting for God with his help.

    Compelled to bear his cross: Matthew 27:32. “And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.” Cyrene was a city of Libya, in north Africa, lying west of Egypt. Cyrene had a large Jewish population, and Simon was very likely in Jerusalem for ...read more

    Without the Cross there is no salvation for any one of us, bitten as we are by the sting of death which is sin.

    THE SERPENT AND THE CROSS. John 3:14-21. JOHN 3:14. “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up.” This refers back to an incident during the wilderness wanderings of the children of Israel (cf. Numbers 21:4-9), and forward to the crucifixion. ...read more

    Jesus was dying among sinners, But also dying for sinners!

    Luke 23:39-Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ,fn save Yourself and us.” 40-But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? 41-“And we indeed justly, for we receive the due ...read more

    The Cross was a God-forsaken death for a God-forsaken people. In our reading we see 3 aspects of the Cross of Christ: The Cross of Rejection, Reception, and Redemption.

    Martin Luther declared: “No one understands the Bible unless they are acquainted with the Cross.” The Cross was a God-forsaken death for a God-forsaken people. In our reading we observe 3 aspects of the Cross of Christ: It is a Cross of Rejection, Reception, and Redemption. ? Rejection The ...read more

     | 2,214 views

    The people during the time of Jesus’ crucifixion also wrote a sign and there were some people who didn’t like what it said while others saw it as a necessary statement about the man hanging on that cross. This morning we are going to share in hearing about the Sign of the Cross.

    WELCOME & INTRODUCTION WARNING LABELS We live in a world that unfortunately has an abundance of people who do things they shouldn’t.

    What was significant about the death of Jesus on the cross?

    We come now to the last day of our Lord’s life on this earth. This was the day He was to die for the sins of the world. That’s why He came. “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” - Mark 10:45 (Amplified) The idea behind ...read more

    The Holy Spirit applies the message of the Cross to our lives.

    THE CROSS AND REGENERATION. John 3:1-15. JOHN 3:1. Nicodemus was a member of the strictest sect of the Jews: the Pharisees. No doubt he sought to keep all the man-made rules of his religion, as well as the law of God which was given to Moses. Nicodemus was a religious man; an upright man; a ...read more

    The Apostle Paul said he was not an elegant speaker; he did not desire to use flattering words to draw attention to the cross. It is a shame too many preachers today feel they must use flattery or jokes to attract or keep an audience.

    I have heard many preachers over the span of my life. My father said they began attending church assemblies on Easter just a few days after my birth. Over sixty years have I been in an assembly hearing preaching. Think about the number of years and the many preachers you have heard. You have heard ...read more

    Today we must give thanks for the gift of Jesus. His self-giving knew no limits and doesn’t stop giving even now.

    Good Friday 2025 I’ve frequently thought that the best approach to a homily for Good Friday would be to stand and look at the biggest cross or crucifix and focus on the pain and torment Jesus underwent two thousand years ago. I’ll encourage you to do that sometime in the next couple of days before ...read more

    The Cost Of The Cross

    There is a cost involved in everything we do. It even cost us something to follow Jesus and yes, there is a cost even for The Cross

    Introduction: Counting the Cost Some things in life are easy to say but harder to live out. I remember a young firefighter in training.

    Nailed To The Cross Series

     | 524 views

    In Colossians Paul is dealing with the rejection of philosophies and man's wisdom. He tells the church they are cheated if they listen to human wisdom while rejecting God's ways. They are missing having their sins Nailed to the Cross. It is the cross that makes the difference.

    Title: Nailed to the Cross Theme: To show how Jesus took our sins to the cross. Our trespasses are forgiven at the cross. Text: Colossians 2:6 – 15. Introduction In chapter 2 of Colossians, Paul begins with a warning to the Colossi church. He says he longs to be there in the flesh but is ...read more

    The Way Of The Cross

    Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024
     | 1,136 views

    In today’s Gospel reading, Peter responds to Jesus’ announcement that the Messiah will have to suffer and die by denying the cross. Peter is in essence denying the truth of this teaching – that the Messiah must suffer and by extension, his disciples.

    Last week we heard about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness right after his Baptism. That’s the way it feels sometimes – you just make a decision and then things happen that immediately bring your decision into question. This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more
