    Life circumstances may be so that not only do we not ask for a cross but also we may not have a choice in whether we bear it or not.

    The Unexpected Cross Pastor Ken Crow Matthew 27:32 (King James Version) 32And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. In our Christian life there are many crosses. There is our cross that Jesus says we must bear if we are to be his ...read more

    Take Up Your Cross Series

    What are we projecting to other people about our service to the Lord if we are complaining about it instead of having fun while we are doing it? We get hung up when people in the world try to trip us up and slow down our walk to a crawl.

    Take Up your cross Matthew 16:24-27 Years ago I remember hearing a radio broadcast of Dr. James Dobson from Focus on the Family. He was retelling a story about his son Ryan who was about three years old at the time. Little Ryan had gotten up early one morning before his Dad and Mom. He managed ...read more

    HoHum: Sing these verses: Must Jesus bear the cross alone, and all the world go free? No, there’s a cross for everyone, and there’s a cross for me. The consecrated cross I’ll bear, Till death shall set me free, And then go home my crown to wear, for there’s a crown for ...read more

    We all have crosses to carry and we need to determine what our crosses are, what do I do with them and what will encourage me to carry my cross/

    Today's scripture gives us the true meaning of discipleship. No parable, no allegory, no story...just to the point very plain sharp and poignantly truthful words from Jesus. We actually see two theologies here. A theology of Glory: or Show and tell; come and see the way a God is suppose to be ...read more

    True discipleship is not physically following Jesus; it is carrying the Cross according to His bidding....

    THE 13th DISCIPLE Text: Mark 5:1-20 The backdrop and context for our study needs to start with the Sea of Galilee. Shaped like a teardrop, dangling like a pearly pendant on Israel’s forehead, it is a teardrop of joy, not sorrow; for it is fresh water, not salty. To the West is Capernaum, a ...read more

    How committed are we to Jesus? Are we willing to carry our cross? Have we counted the cost of discipleship? Are we willing to make the sacrifice? Let’s examine our cross, our cost and our sacrifice as disciples in Luke 14:25-33.

    Last Hours Of Jesus' Life - Free From Passivity

    Contributed by Joanne Chan on May 18, 2018
     | 4,826 views

    In this sermon, we look at how the people mocked Jesus as he walked toward the hill of Golgotha, and contrast that with his encounter with Simon from Cyrene to see what it really means to carry the cross for Jesus.

    Central theme: Jesus denied himself and took the punishment for us with total dedication. We should take up the cross and follow Jesus, which means denying our old self (our comfort, your desires) and live for God because God is leading us to an even better place. Opening: Think of a place ...read more

     | 9,217 views

    Through the cross, Christ provided salvation for those who are lost and an example of service for those who are saved.

    As we conclude our Character Tour of the Old Testament, we're looking to the example of Jesus, who shows us what it means to serve God. This is important, because of the command Christ has given to us: "As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." - John 20:21 (NIV) As we consider the example ...read more

    Simon Who Was Inconvenienced Series

     | 7,927 views

    Simon of Cyrene is on his way into Jerusalem when his plans are inconveniently changed when he is called upon to carry the cross of Jesus. The “silent witness” of Simon calls us to think about the ways Jesus uses the inconvenient moments of life to draw us closer to Himself.

    Message Silent Witnesses Mark 15:21 Simon Who Is Inconvenienced Even before Jesus is crucified He has faced a brutal ordeal. Looking at some verses in Mark 14 and 15 Mark 14:65 Some of the Sanhedrin began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And ...read more

    The problem with carry-ons is that they restrict our Journey's freedom and hamper its progress.

    “The Problem with Carry-Ons”” Zech. 3:1-5; Matthew 8:1-17 When we travel by air, we often cram as much as possible into a piece of carry-on luggage. While it may save time and the frustration of checking and retrieving baggage at the airport, it also slows us down. Because ...read more
