The Love Of God Displayed In The Cross

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 31, 2002

God’s love is supremely exhibited in the cross of Christ.

Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 29, 2003

His Resurrection Series

As Jeremiah risked everything to buy some apparently worthless real estate in order to give a sign that the Lord would triumph, so I also asked our church to adopt a new but venturesome vision for its life.

Could I offer you a real estate deal this morning? Oh, it will be the deal of a lifetime! You can’t pass this up! Can I get you to buy a piece of land, sight unseen, in a sort-of shaky area? True, it might be taken over by the military, but, hey, who’s worried about that? Come on and buy! ...read more
