Three Crosses At Calvary
Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 18, 2000
Calvary was the place of Three Crosses - of Rebellion, of Repentance and of Redemption - and the choice is ours.
The Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ is the corner stone of our faith. It is the chosen symbol of the Christian faith. Thank God, we see it now as an empty cross because the seeming tragedy for good and apparent victory for evil was overturned by the power and purposes of God into the triumph of the ...read more

Why Should I Preach About Faith To Faithful Congregants?
By Josh Read on Feb 24, 2026
The most dangerous seat in your church isn't occupied by the skeptic visiting for the first time. It's the third row, left side. The couple who's been attending for nineteen years, who tithe on autopilot, who can recite Hebrews 11:1 from memory but haven't genuinely expected God to do anything surprising since 2014. Faith fatigue is an epidemic nobody names from the pulpit. We preach to the doubters and the seekers, but the people quietly losing their faith aren't losing it through dramatic crisis, they're losing it through years of spiritual routine that stopped requiring actual trust. This outline isn't a generic faith template. It's built for that specific sermon where you look your most faithful members in the eye and say, "When was the last time your faith cost you something?"
