He Went A Little Farther

Contributed by Jerry Carr on Jun 9, 2001

We find as Jesus went to Gethsemane, Gabbatha, Galgotha, and the Grave, that he conquered every obstacle that was set before him, just as we must.

When we think of Calvary, it speaks of sins forgiven, but in order for those sins to be forgiven there had to be someone to pay the price. It speaks of Peace with God, but before we can experience Peace there must be Victory. It speaks of Eternal Life, but before we can have eternal life, the ...read more

The Messages Of The Three Crosses On Calvary

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jun 19, 2001

Each cross on calvary carries a message: we see a cross of redemption, a cross of rejection, and a cross of repentance.

Picture in your mind one of the drawings or paintings that you have seen portraying Christ’s crucifixion. If the artist based his or her rendering of Calvary on the Bible’s account you probably saw three crosses in the picture. Although there were three crosses I am assuming one was probably more ...read more

Soul Searching

Contributed by Ron Hicks on Jun 2, 2007

Wouldn’t you agree with me, that it is a great tragedy to sit idle in our little Christian box and let people die in sin and go to Hell without an attempt to rescue them?

SOUL SEARCHING Gen 18:16-33 16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. 17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a ...read more

Empty And Broken

Contributed by David Robb on Aug 7, 2008

...he who has been forgiven much, loves much! Only the broken are useful for His purposes.

Empty and Broken The road of my life is pocked with “empty and broken” moments, as I’m sure many of your lives have been.

Will The Real Christ Please Stand Up? (Part 1) Series

Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Nov 7, 2009

How we view Jesus Christ determines how we value Him.

What we think about a person determines how we treat that person. When we think a person is “masungit,”[1] we feel like walking on eggshells when we are with that person. When we think a person is “mabait,”[2] we are more comfortable when we are with him. Our response to that person depends upon ...read more

The Great Divide At Calvary

Contributed by Norman Lawrence on Jul 4, 2007

The Bible tells us that there were two thieves who died with Him that day, however their eternal souls went in totally different directions as one rebelled against the Savior in the middle, and the other received the Savior into His heart. Three crosses

I'm Too Proud To Be Humble Series

Contributed by Mark Armstrong on Dec 17, 2018

A simple Christmas Day sermon around the theme of humility. A little shorter than normal and I tried to be jargon free.

Introduction—humility. Someone once said, “Swallow your pride occasionally, it’s non-fattening”. I wish on a day like today that fruit cake, chocolate and pavlova were non-fattening. One of my favourite humility sayings is, “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, its thinking of yourself ...read more
