    Preaching The Cross

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 15, 2023
     | 1,271 views

    It is not our words, our strength, or our own person that has any power in the work that we do for Christ, but it is the power of God through Christ that we are able to do what we do and how we do it.

    The sermon that Peter delivers at the temple is transcribed in Acts 3:11-26. Peter cures a blind beggar who has asked for alms while John enters the Temple to pray.

    On this Veteran's Day celebration, we remember veterans of our military, but we are all veterans of Christ's Army

    Even though Veteran’s Day is Friday, November 11, it’s important enough to celebrate it on this Sunday before the holiday. Unlike Memorial Day when we honor those who died while serving, Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans. Originally it was called Armistice Day, ...read more

    The Way Of The Cross

     | 1,065 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

    God keeps His promises to Israel as they at last enter the promised land.

    CROSSING JORDAN. Joshua 3:7-17. JOSHUA 3:7. Transition from one ministry to another is always challenging, but if the Lord’s people recognise the new incumbent as God’s man then they can agree under God to hearken to him (cf. Joshua 1:17).

    THE WAY OF THE CROSS. Matthew 16:21-28. MATTHEW 16:21-23. When Jesus began to openly teach the necessity of the Cross, Peter - of all people - took Him aside, and began to rebuke Him.

    Forced Cross Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Oct 8, 2023
     | 1,343 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.

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.

    We face a greater Jordan to cross than the Children of Israel did. But because it is the same LORD who leads us, we shall cross impassible Jordan.

    Crossing Jordan Joshua 3:7-17 Moses had taken Israel as far as he could. It wasn’t because Moses had succumbed to old age as Deuteronomy 34 tells us he was still vigorous. It is because He had failed earlier to glorify Yahweh in front of the people at Meribah and struck the rock in anger rather ...read more
