    1. What does God want? -- My whole life. 2. What does it take? -- Discipline 3. Why should I do it? -- The Cross!

    (The outline of this sermon and some of the content has been adapted from Rick Warren’s Forty Days of Purpose material). I recently read this scripture from Isaiah and was struck at how this passage contained the entire message of the Bible in just a few words. More than that, it is the whole ...read more

    Packed within three verses are some of the most important truths of the Gospel, for these verses explain WHY Jesus died on the cross and exactly what He accomplished by that death.

    Celebrating the Victory, But What Was the Battle? (Romans 3:24-26) 1. A wife wrote: Last year, when the power mower was broken and wouldn’t run. I kept hinting to my husband that he ought to get it fixed, but somehow the message never sank in. Finally I thought of a clever way to make the point. ...read more

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 2, 2003
    based on 9 ratings
     | 7,177 views

    Many of our interpersonal problems are actually personal, the resulting of feeling weak. Paul’s strategy was to pray for those with whom he had conflict, and that helped him become whole. The cross demonstrates the power of weakness. For Reformation Su

    When we are in trouble, our first instinct is to pray. And that’s right. That’s as it should be. The only problem is that when we are in trouble, our first instinct is to pray for ourselves.

    Have No Fear Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,012 views

    As we demonstrate Christ to people by making sure He is Lord of our lives, as we defend the reason for the hope that we have, and as we disarm people by our attitude of gentleness and respect, God will use us to clear the way for people to see the central message of the Cross of Christ.

    It was reported on Friday that the track and field star Sha’Carri Richardson, who was set for a once in a lifetime opportunity at the Tokyo Olympics, could miss the Games after testing positive for marijuana.

    based on 14 ratings
     | 3,326 views

    The world teaches us to only consider Me, Mysel, and I. Let us dethrone self as God deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow Jesus.

    Dieing To Live At a party a woman said this: “My husband and I managed to be happy together for 20 years. I guess this is because we’re both in love with the same person.” The husband of this marriage is a picture of the self absorbed and self-centered society we have today . The wife even ...read more

     | 4,224 views

    Self-denial and spiritual discipline are not popular topics in today’s culture. But a Christianity without a cross is not Christianity at all. This sermon launches a fifty day focus on spiritual disciplines.

    Leaving no child behind means that we parents set aside our own pleasures, that we learn to advocate for our children, and that we cross cultures with our resources.

    The disciples who followed Jesus in the day of his flesh had some wonderful advantages. However, when Jesus died on the cross every shred of hope they had was gone.

    Mark 16:9-11 9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. 10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen ...read more

    Part VI in the series - 24. This is a first person narrative account from the perspective of the penitent thief on the cross. The preaching idea: Only by the innocence of Christ are the guilty set free.

    Introduction… My prayer is that over the past six weeks that those of you who have been present for this series of sermons have been moved by the stories that we have experienced.

    Father, Forgive Them

    Jesus’ first cry on the cross ushered in His ministry of intercession for the world. He has not ceased to intercede for us. Man’s greatest need is the forgiveness of our sin.

    Jesus prayed, "Father, forgive them..." (Luke 23:34). This was the first recorded cry of Jesus on the cross. • It sums up the reason He was there. It encapsulates the meaning of the cross. • He was asking God to give men what they needed most – forgiveness of their sin. • Jesus is going to pay ...read more

    Myths Of Salvation

    Contributed by Tim Hinrichs on Jan 31, 2013
     | 6,788 views

    There are many myths Christians believe about how to be saved. As we look into the Scripture we see these myths revealed as false and the only way to salvation through the cross of Christ.

    What is a myth? A story about someone or something that some claim to be true but is usually a fable. In Minnesota we have the stories of Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue ox. There is the belief in Poland that if you sit on a cold stone surface you will get sick and in America, many believe that if ...read more
