The Cross Life Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole…

It is a pretty common theme in movies - the hero gives up their own life to save another. Harry Stamper - the main protagonist in the outlandish movie Armageddon played by Bruce Willis, is an oil rigger who dies in a suicide mission in space protecting the earth from an approaching asteroid. In Terminator…

Trying to Make Sense of What Doesn’t Make Sense For a few weeks we have been teaching from what Jesus taught between the upper room and the Garden of Gethsemane. But before we get to the prayer of Jesus, I want to look at something that is a part of the teaching of Jesus that the Disciples were still…

Today, I’m going to say something to you that isn’t true, or at least, it isn’t the whole truth. I’ll let you figure out which part isn’t the whole truth.

We live within a culture that has adopted the idea of the sacrifice of the innocent so that we might have a better life. That is what is required for us to overcome the curse of sin and have a better life. The world offers a counterfeit provided by Satan and his demons God offers the only genuine, original…

“During World War II, Father [Maximilian] Kolbe was imprisoned in the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz, where he became an inspiration to many of those incarcerated with him.

Matt talks us through Galatians 6:11-18, highlighting that our real hope is in the new creation.

Good Friday is a time to remember to sacrifice Jesus made to provide a path to restore mankind. Tied to Jesus' Death on the cross, we see Jesus bore the stripes to provide a means for us to receive healing. The stripes He bore are just as relevant today as the day He was brutally beaten. Let's agree with the Prophet Isaiah and the Apostle Peter, in believing By His stripes, I am healed!

God, in His mercy and love, provided a remedy for sin - the sacrifice of His Son. Jesus "released us from our sins by His blood" (REv.1:5) and by His "one offering...perfected for all time those who are sanctified" (Heb.10:14). Join Pastor Steve as he shows how God reconciled sinners to Himself from 2 Corinthians 5:21.

John 19:17–37 17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: 18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. 19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing…

You’re safe now! If you where to rescue a child from danger, this is one of the first things you will try to convince them of. Paul is attempting to convince the Roman believers that through justification by faith, they are now safe. Immediate Result of Justification Paul’s main point - peace with God…

John 17:20-23 20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me…

Did you hear that? We finished with that phrase, did you hear that ( Jn12:28-29 )? 28 “Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came out of heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29 So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were…

THE DEATH OF GOD’S SON MARK 15:31-42 Introduction: Our society is literally begging for heroes…they make heroes out of men/women for all kinds of reasons: “he was the hero of the game” “he was a hero because he dared to speak out for/against __________________(just fill in the blank with whatever the…

Come celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus with us!! You are invited to worship and celebrate the great hope we have in Jesus our Messiah. Death could not hold Him down, and when you place your faith in Him, it won't hold you down either!

Even Death…

Bravery and loyalty in the life of Jonathan and his armor bearer. Self-sacrificial love in the life of Jesus. Faithfulness in the martyrdom of the saints.

Paul goes to Corinth to convince people about the message about the cross. He convinces some, and then foolish arguments break out. Maybe if we saw ourselves as all belonging to God, we'd see unity, and the power of God come alive.

John's account of Jesus death focuses not so much on Jesus' suffering, but on his fulfilment of God's great plan of salvation. Finally, on our journey through Scripture, we get to see God's great plan to restore humanity into relationship with him--a relationship dashed by the first humans--accomplished by the Son of God himself.
