Three Crosses On A Hill: A Study In Evangelism

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 6, 2022

When we preach about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins upon the cross, we forget that there were also two men crucified on crosses next to Him. Each man had the opportunity to look to Jesus for grace and mercy. Their response determined their eternal destiny.

Each one tells of the jeering, mockery, contempt, and seething hatred towards the ...read more

Signs

Contributed by Bill Stonebraker on Jan 18, 2022
