    He Bore The Cross Of Jesus – Who Was Simon Of Cyrene? – An Easter Message For Good Friday Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 19, 2024
     | 2,092 views

    At this Easter time, we are looking at Simon of Cyrene who carried the cross for the Lord. He was God’s provision for the journey to the cross, and Jesus was the Father’s provision for the sins of the world. We examine Simon of Cyrene from the Gospel accounts and link with Isaac.

    HE BORE THE CROSS OF JESUS – WHO WAS SIMON OF CYRENE? – AN EASTER MESSAGE FOR GOOD FRIDAY [A]. INTRODUCING THE MAN SIMON OF CYRENE As commentators often like to do, there is a lot of speculation about Simon of Cyrene. There are so many ideas why he was in Jerusalem and what he was doing on the ...read more

    Abundant Life!

     | 13,715 views

    Jesus said He came to destroy the works of the devil, and to bring us abundant life. However, we still have an enemy who is a thief, murderer and destroyer, and we must be vigilant if we want to experience that abundant life, joy and peace.

    ABUNDANT LIFE! ILLUSTRATION: A little girl once went to visit her grandmother in the country. Things were fine until Sunday. This lady went to a very old fashioned church that kept the Sabbath by forbidding all work, fun, playing. The little girl woke up Sunday and started right off playing and ...read more

    Should you give up something for Lent? A Lenten attitude what Jesus really wants us to give up.

    Luke 18:9-14 “WHAT IS LENT?” (Ash Wednesday sermon) “There’s nothing wrong with me,” the man says. “But sir, you’ve just been in a terrible car accident. You’re bleeding and have some deep bruises. There may be internal damage!” “There’s nothing wrong with me!” “At least have a doctor check ...read more

    The crowd called for the blood of an innocent man to be upon them and their children... what were they thinking?

    Forgiving The Unforgivable Series

     | 113,541 views

    “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” The Cross is the only place we can find forgiveness. It doesn’t matter what we’ve done, or how often we’ve done it, we can be forgiven - not because we deserve it, but because we don’t.

    Forgiving the Unforgivable The last words of a dying person are normally never forgotten. A person’s closing comments often reveal their pain and agony. Some enter eternity without saying anything, while others utter sentiments that disclose their values, priorities, and innermost ...read more

    It was not just once that Jesus prayed this prayer. Again & again He prayed, "Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing." But I wonder if we understand what He was praying for?

    Soul For Sale

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jun 3, 2009
    based on 10 ratings
     | 9,576 views

    In America, you can metaphorically and literally sell your soul and be rewarded for it. One wonders how the purchaser intended to collect. We can’t literally sell our soul, but we can lose our soul to gain something else. We need to ponder Jesus’ question

    Opening illustration: One would think that selling one’s soul, as Faust offered his to the devil in Goethe’s Dr. Faustus, is only a figment of literary fiction. Medieval as it seems, however, several cases of soul-selling have occurred. Wired magazine reported that a 29-year-old university ...read more

    I hope to explain a little bit of what it means to be a Christian.

    What does it mean to be a Christian? Matthew 16 Many preachers have asked that question over the years. Now the first thing most of you think when I ask that question is ok here it comes.

    Motive is what is dealt with, & the church today needs to examine the motive for our ministries. We know what we are doing, but do we know why we are doing it? Many a good work is ruined before God because of a bad motive.

    GALATIANS 6: 11-18 MARKED BY FREEDOM [2 Corinthians 11:18-33] The Holy Spirit inspired Paul to add these closing words to give one more contrast between the legalists & the Spirit-led Christians. The Spirit-led live for the glory of Christ, not the praise of man. Motive is what is dealt ...read more

    This week we are continuing our sermon series being tandem with God. As we discussed last week being in tandem, is like being in partnership, cooperating with God. It doesn’t mean it that we are equal with God, but that we work with God. And today we are looking at what it means to be in tandem ...read more
