     | 12,157 views

    This is the fourth set of words Jesus utters from the cross. It is a pivotal phrase and is purposefully the fourth statement he made. While this utterance could call the relationship between God and Jesus into question, it actually melds it and shows how

    story of the good Samaritan and how it applies to our walk with Christ

    Intro: there are stories in the Bible were we all cheer the hero of the story, go home rejoicing in what they had done, but then go back to our ordinary lives.

    I have met a lot of people who tell me that they believe in God, but they don't believe in organized religion. In other words, they don't care about going to church. Why does Christ love the church, or in our case, why does Christ love Bethel?

    Can we always make sense out of tragedies? Like Paul tell us as Job discovers, we have to grasp that nothing can separate us from God’s love (Romans 8:35 -39). We do not get to that place in our journey without God’s help.

    Last week we spoke about the prophecies that brought hope to the minds and hearts of God’s people — those who were anticipating the arrival of God’s Messiah into the world.

    Why Did Jesus Come To This Earth And A Die As A Common Criminal?

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Dec 20, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,264 views

    Why did Jesus come to this earth as a tiny baby, a die as a common criminal. What hope do we have for the future knowing that God himself was innocently crucified. This sermon is subtly hard hitting, giving hope for the future.

    Note: The hymns "The sermon King" and "I cannot tell" to the tune Danny Boy are perfect for the sermon. Introduction One of the greatest yet strangest of stories in the bible is that of almighty God coming into this world and living as we do. ... And there is an even stranger story is that he did ...read more
