    The power of the cross is so great that we've chosen to make this cross the emblem. We look at that cross and we don't just think about death, we think about life.

    I think there's something inside of all of our hearts that loves superheroes. I think that as I was growing up, I really liked the Old Testament Bible stories of Samson, David, Moses, and Joshua. Those are great stories. I can imagine the Jewish young men growing up, the disciples themselves ...read more

    No Cross… No Crown

     | 5,147 views

    In our text today this is a conditional promise.

    Notice the condition on which this promise is made. The Lord said, if we are faithful unto death, He would give us a CROWN OF LIFE. He did NOT say, “If you are faithful a few short weeks, months or years I will give thee a Crown of Life”. The promise is made to those who are faithful unto ...read more

    Preaching The Cross

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 15, 2023
     | 1,286 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. Acts 3:1-10 describes the healed man leaping up to praise God. When this catches the attention of the crowd, Peter explains that Jesus ...read more

    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 Cost Of The Cross

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on May 4, 2025
     | 554 views

    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. He was passionate, excited, and couldn’t wait to get out there and fight fires. But during a live burn drill, the flames got hotter than he expected, the smoke ...read more

    This is a revelation of some of the most potent truths about Jesus' suffering on the cross and what "taking up our cross" means to us. It's good for Good Friday or any other time!

    The Roman soldiers who crucified Jesus were witnesses to the greatest event in human history but didn't know it. If we're not careful, the same thing can happen to us and we will never realize the love of Jesus!

    UNMOVED BY THE CROSS? John 19:23-24 INTRODUCTION A. OPENING STORY 1. Two men had indulged in every sinful activity imaginable while away on a business trip together. In the morning, as they were making their way to the airport, one man challenged the other. He said, “I dare you to go over to ...read more

    The Question Of The Cross

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 4, 2023
     | 1,144 views

    Everyone who was there, at the cross, had a question, except the ones who were sure they already had the answers.. . What’s going on? What am I doing here? Who is that man, anyway? What am I going to do?

    Were you there when they crucified my Lord? They were all people just like us, you know. It might just have well have been we who were there, not them. It would all have happened just the same. Were you one of the ones that hadn’t really been paying attention? Were you one of the curious ...read more
