    Preaching The Cross

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 15, 2023
     | 1,283 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
     | 545 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

    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.

    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

    Preaching Of The Cross

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on May 24, 2024
     | 1,036 views

    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

    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).

    Forced Cross Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Oct 8, 2023
     | 1,381 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

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,415 views

    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.

     | 2,335 views

    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
