    Many people are talking about Mel Gibson’s new movie "The Passion of the Christ." This study will take a deeper look at the Roman scourging and crucifixion that Jesus willingly endured on our behalf.

    The Passion: The Rest of the Story William Hill, who was the founder of Hopewell Presbyterian Church, used to tell the story of an old preacher who was approached by some of the members in his congregation. The members told him that he was boring them to tears and that their patience was wearing ...read more

    The offense of the Cross, not the violence or lame charges of anti-Semitism, is what has riled up critics of Gibson’s movie.

    Experiencing the Passion of the Christ Rev Dr Robert G Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts One thing Mel Gibson’s movie has given us all is an opportunity to talk about our faith in Christ. We all like discussing movies we’ve seen, and with the publicity surrounding ...read more

    The violence in The Passion of the Christ has many moviegoers asking: Does the movie have to be so bloody?

    One of the biggest questions I’ve heard people asking about Mel Gibson’s movie is: "Wow. . . did that really happen?" A reviewer in TIME mag put it this way: "The first thing you have to decide is. . . is it based on fact or fiction?" *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    WAS IT REALLY LIKE THAT? How many of you here today have seen The Passion of the Christ? How many of you left there with questions? <HANDS> This series, I’m taking some of the most common questions I’ve heard, and giving them an honest look.

    A message that examines the spiritual truth that Christ was unclothed so that we might be clothed upon.

    Introduction: Today we continue our studies through the most exciting but also the most dreadful story in all the Word of God - the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. I started off with the idea of comparing the four soldiers of verses 23-24, and the four saints (women) of verses 25-27. But as I ...read more

     | 7,293 views

    Habiendo Jesús mismo experimentado la crueldad de la crucifixión, ¿por qué no nos evitaría este dolor tan horrendo? ¡Jesús simplemente quiso enseñarnos que era necesario morir!

    En la porción que hemos leído, Jesús dejó dicho que toda persona debía tomar su propia cruz para poder ser Su discípulo. La cruz era un castigo cruel al que podían ser sometidos los rebeldes o esclavos desobedientes. Dios mismo maldijo a todo aquel que colgaba de un madero (Deuteronomio 21:22, ...read more

    Christ went through a period of agony on the cross as He was separated from His Father. This sermon looks at the reason he was separated from His Father.

    Today we come to the fourth week of our series on the Seven Statements from the Cross. Last week we saw Jesus entrust his mother to John, John would become her son, and her, his mother. We saw through their total obedience what kinds of sacrifice obedience can require of a family, spiritual and ...read more

    When we look back at our lives and the disasters they contain, we do have to ask whether we brought some of these things on ourselves, whether scapegoating is occurring. But God is at work in all things, even disasters, for the Kingdom.

    I’m convinced that the best education in the world is the one you gain listening to other people tell their life stories. So much can be learned just from hearing what others have been through. This past week I attended a workshop for ministers. It was supposed to be about creating and handling ...read more

    Five Viewpoints of the Crucifixion: God, Jesus, Christians, Satan, the World. At the cross, Jesus humbled Himself, becoming obedient until death.

    John Chapter 19 Verses 1-5 If Jesus was innocent, He should have been set free. If Jesus was guilty, He should have been crucified; but to scourge Jesus was unlawful.
