Sermons on What Jesus Said On The Cross:

Cross The Jordan Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Dec 21, 2023

This terrible river, lying at the bottom of the most spectacular gash upon the surface of the planet Earth, most of its course lying even below the level of the sea, is an astoundingly appropriate symbol of death. But a faith Step changes everything.

Joshua 3 - Crossing the Jordan Promise and the Problems: On the shore of Jordan Israelites were lodging for three days as the Lord told them to do (Joshua 1:11). Now, they saw a rushing river, swollen with spring rains lie in front of them. They would have wondered and discussed “How can we ever ...read more

Guilty But Pardoned

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

Jesus was our Savior on the cross, but He was also our Judge, and He pardoned us for all of our unknown sins of omission that we can never confess. His forgiveness was universal and comprehensive.

If God did not pardon the guilty there would be no Gospel, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Even so, we feel there is a danger in being too merciful. Abraham Lincoln was accused of this during the Civil War when he seemed willing to pardon just about anyone. He would ...read more

Jesus Christ Will Return To Earth! Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Dec 22, 2008

Christmas day will be meaningless without the return of Christ to earth to complete what was done in that manger, on that cross, from that grave, and in His church!

The world celebrates Christmas on December 25. But some will argue, with strong conviction, that Jesus was actually born on January 6! Does the date really matter? No matter the date, what’s important is that God became a human being on earth! Without His birth on earth, Jesus would not have been ...read more

Love’s Response To Hate

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

Jesus was our Savior on the cross, but He was also our Judge, and He forgave us and all mankind for the sins that are sins of omission. These are sins we are not aware of and so we can never confess. Jesus forgave these along with all other sins.

One of the most diabolical criminals of his day, and the first big time American gangster, was also a very impressive pulpit orator. John Murrell as a youth was caught for horse stealing, and after a public whipping he was sent to prison. He declared eternal vengeance upon society for this, and ...read more

To Hell And Back

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

When Jesus cries out, "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me!" He admits he has been forsaken by the one Person we expected to be his supporter to the end. But God cast his vote with the rest and says, guilty.

One of the greatest paradoxes of history is the story of the young English sailor by the name of Noble. His job was to deliver a large cannon from Portsmouth, England to Boston in the Colonies in the mid 1700's. After two days on the ship HMS INTREPID, they encountered heavy weather.

Good Friday

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 8, 2021

Jesus is identified with the lamb, for they die without a fight. They meekly go to their death without attacking or resisting. Jesus laid down His life voluntarily, and He did not, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, snarl and rip and tear at His crucifiers.

Two leading British scientists have done a great deal of research, and they have concluded that Jesus died on Friday April 3rd, 33 A.D. Collin J. Humphreys and W. G. Waddington of Oxford University published their findings in the British Science Magazine. Their combined study of the Gospels and ...read more

What's He Like? Series

Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 15, 2006

Have you seen Jesus lately? Mark’s amazing witness reveals a complex Messiah. Jesus in our world is both comforting and disturbing.

Read or quote Mark 6. It is tempting in this study to jump to Matthew and Luke for a broader perspective on these events recorded in Mark. I have purposely resisted doing that so far, so that Mark can tell the gospel to us himself and we can see Jesus with his witness. What happens when we ...read more

Continuing a look at Jesus and his ministry

Recently I saw a cartoon with Adam and Eve both eating apples.

Contributed by Daniel Austin on Feb 27, 2010

If we are to be conformed to the likeness of Christ then we must strive to follow His example in word and deed and do what Jesus did.

What's It Like To Follow Jesus? Series

Contributed by Warren Lamb on Jun 8, 2008

Willing to wash feet? Big, dirty, calloused, stinky feet? Willing to let someone else take the credit for the good job you did? What if that is what following Jesus looks like? Are you willing?
