The Way Of The Cross

Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Mar 29, 2016

The message of the cross of Jesus is still a strange message to those who have never experienced its life changing power. To them it is "foolishness". To the lost the idea of trusting a suffering, bleeding man for salvation is foolishness.

THE WAY OF THE CROSS Study Text: 1 Corinthians 1:17-18 Introduction: - When he wrote to the church in Corinth, Paul reminded them that he had been called for one purpose and that purpose was to preach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. That message was to be his focus and that message was to be ...read more

Glory In The Cross

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 30, 2022

When it comes to salvation, can we boast about anything? The Apostle Paul chose to boast about just one thing, and it had nothing to do with himself.

The book of Galatians was written by the Apostle Paul to combat false teaching that the Galatian Christians had believed. Paul says to them, “who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth?” The Judaizers were the culprits, stating that circumcision was essential for salvation along with ...read more

Purity By The Cross Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Oct 5, 2022

How do we get pure? How can we relate to God? We find out in Hebrews 9:14. That purity comes by the cross. Nothing can compare to the power of Christ in cleaning up a life.

God is pure. He is like the snow on the top of the Himalayan mountains. We are un-pure. We are like the mud puddle on the road. You can’t mix the two together. The mud puddle water will contaminate the Himalayan snow. Then how do we get pure? How can we relate to God? We find out in Hebrews 9:14. ...read more

The cross of Jesus Christ glorifies God—by 1) Revealing God’s righteousness (Romans 3:25b–26), by 2) Exalting God’s grace (Romans 3:27–28), by 3) Revealing God’s universality (Romans 3:29–30), and by 4) Confirming God’s law (Romans 3:31).

Conformity To The Cross Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

The Corinthians Christians had become arrogant, crowing like a rooster. To use a Texas idiom, they had become “all hat and no cattle.” In the words of Glenn Campbell, “A Rhinestone Cowboy.”

It’s a message from Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians and it represents a journey of sorts. A journey to an another land – and older land – where the goals of Christianity were not set by marketers in order to make it more palatable. Instead, the agenda was set by prophets who sought holy, ...read more
