     | 1,692 views

    Exposure. Heat. Exhaustion. Dehydration. He’s been on the cross now for 6 hours. It’s hot. Lips cracked. Throat so dry. He cries out. "I Thirst" God in Christ substituted Himself for us sinners. That is the heart of the cross of Christ.

     | 1,675 views

    Jesus was willing... 1. To be betrayed by a false friend (vs. 45-50). 2. To be captured like a criminal (vs. 50, 55). 3. To express kindness to His enemies (vs. 51-52). 4. To suffer for the Scripture (vs. 52-56). 5. To be failed by His followers (vs. 56).

    Sermon # 14 - The Way Of The Cross Part 3 - Who Is Jesus To You? Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 17, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 407 views

    The people in Jesus’ day had various perception of who He was, but Peter the disciple of Jesus truly understood who Jesus was. The important question we need to ask ourselves is, “Who is Jesus to us personally?” The answer to this is vital both for now and for eternity.

    We read in Matthew 16:13, Now after coming into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus questioned His disciples, saying, "Who do men declare Me, the Son of man, to be?" (AFV) The above was the question that Jesus asked His disciples. Jesus had performed so many miraculous signs and ...read more

     | 226 views

    "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!" The city was stirred, buzzing with anticipation. They thought their King had come to overthrow Rome. But Jesus came to conquer something much greater: death, sin, and the grave.

     | 504 views

    The death of Jesus is the central thought, intention, and focus of the classic "The Old Rugged Cross." The death of Jesus is a worthy topic for a worship song because the death of Jesus is central to our faith.

    SONGS WE SING: “THE OLD RUGGED CROSS” Romans 5:1-11 #theoldruggedcross INTRODUCTION… Funeral this past week (p) Some of you may know, but some may not, that I am on a short list for a few of the funeral homes around the area for emergencies or when a family has lost a loved one and the family is ...read more

    Jesus Took Up Our Pain And Bore Our Suffering On The Cross.

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on Jun 5, 2024
     | 589 views

    Jesus went to Peter’s house and healed his mother-in-law. Then “Many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all who were ill.” Matthew then tells us that this fulfilled the prophecy that Jesus “took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.”

    The Bible records that Jesus went to Peter’s house and healed his mother-in-law. Then as evening came when it was dark, out of the shadows came many needy people. “Many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all who were ill.” Matthew then ...read more

    A focus on faith and healing. And, just why did Jesus tell the paralytic his sins were forgiven?

    Should We Shun

     | 6,737 views

    There is a need to return to the concept of shunning. Indeed, we should shun those whose politics are against Scripture even if they are called Brethren,

    Having spent some time around Amish and Mennonites, I know they are pretty much the only groups that still practice shunning. Most are probably afraid of lawsuits, spitting the church or have a slightly off view of grace/love. We speak truth in love and some times we need to practice tough love ...read more

    The River That Flowed From The Temple In Jerusalam

     | 8,985 views

    In Ezekiel 47, The prophet receives a vision of the River flowing from the Temple and he is invited to cross the River at various crossing. What does each crossing signify.

    Ezekiel 47: 1-12 I love this passage of Scripture, not least because in Ezekiel’s time there was no river in the City of Jerusalem and so it would be impossible for a river to flow from the Temple. You may well say to me, not so. And I will concede that in 2011, while Jerusalem was in the ...read more

    Jesus suffered the ignominy of dying on the cross for the sin of mankind. The riches of the cross is laced with trials and persecutions. Every believer must carry his/her cross daily.

    TEXT: Philippians 3:10 "That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death." CHRIST SUFFERED FOR YOU Suffering is not pleasant but sometimes necessary to ascend to the seat of glory. Christ had to suffer ...read more

    Picture the scene. An Israelite camp in the desert, several thousand years ago. The tabernacle, pitched on top of a hill in the center of the camp.
