    Woman, Behold Thy Son Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 27, 2021
     | 24,837 views

    As Jesus endured the sufferings and horrors of the cross, He remained concerned for the well-being of others. In this compelling statement, we find Jesus made both physical and spiritual provision for His mother.

    Woman, Behold Thy Son John 19: 26-27 We have now come to the 3rd of Jesus’ sayings upon the cross. Literally these are two statements, but they are typically combined as the 3rd saying because they are within the same context. They both share the same idea and reveal a common desire of our ...read more

    The third saying from the cross of our Lord provided provision for His mother. Even as He hung in agony, dying to atone for sin, He was concerned with the well-being of His mother.

    The world is setting itself against the ways of God and persecution is headed our way. How do we prepare ourselves so we can stand firm in our faith. Check out these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell.

    Read text. Pray. Francis Chan has long been a favorite preacher/author of mine. Over the years he has shared many ideas that are very similar to those of our brotherhood. For instance, there’s a meme where he says, “If the Bible and I don’t agree, I must be wrong.” He has spoken of being ...read more

    The Last Sermon

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jul 14, 2013
     | 7,423 views

    In His last sermon before the Cross, Jesus affirms His union with the Father, along with a message of hope for tomorrow and light for our darkness. He also states the position of believers and unbelievers.

    If somehow I knew my next sermon would be my last, what would I preach? Our Lord’s time on earth was drawing to a close, and so He delivered a final sermon, an appeal to people to embrace His light. One translation introduces His message: “And Jesus cried aloud” (Moffat). ...read more

    The essence of Christianity is this remarkable truth: Christ came from heaven and died for us on the cross and rose again so that, in the person of the Holy Spirit, he might dwell in our lives.

    Response Goal: Individuals prompted by the Holy Spirit will join me in starting each day by saying, “Behold, the servant of the Lord. Be it unto me according to your word. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. More than anything else, I want Jesus to show up in my life. I’m available to ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,644 views

    Candle-mas, the story of Simeon is a simple story, but if you look closely, there is a lot about the way we should be living our lives … as either Jesus will appear one day on earth, or we will die and meet him in heaven; either way, we want to be ready.

    Word Count: 2579 This sermon was delivered to the congregation in St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 2nd February 2014: by Gordon McCulloch (A Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries).

    Today Is A Good Day To Die

    Contributed by Ken Henson on Apr 21, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,715 views

    Almost every time the Bible refers to the Resurrection of Jesus, it refers to our call to follow Him to the cross. Without death there is no resurrection. Jesus bids us "come, and die".

    Today is a good day to die. Warning (Spoiler?). Today’s message is going to be morbid-focused on death. I’ll confess, I’m a Star Trek fan, And there is a species in the series that is very focused on warrior virtues. Any episode where there is a battle, and there seems to be a likelihood of ...read more

    Jesus’ baptism was a declaration of what he was about to do. At the time of his baptism, his eyes were already fixed upon the cross, that we might have cleansing and new birth.

    Who Lost His Head?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 18, 2008
    based on 9 ratings
     | 7,121 views

    When we lose our ways emotionally or spiritually, we hurt ourselves and others. Herod, Herodias and Salome demonstrate the ways we can be seduced into losing our heads. John only lost his physical head but not his integrity.

    Do you know the poem, "If’, by Rudyard Kipling? I’m sure you’ve heard it a hundred times. But let me quote just a part of "If’. "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you; if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their ...read more

    Before the Cross, Jesus did His best to teach us those things we would need to know. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of three things: Sin, Righteousness and Judgment.

    John Chapter 16 This chapter begins with Jesus still talking about the hatred of the world! Read verse 1 “These things I have spoken to you” are the things Jesus talked about in chapter 15.
