    The Joy Of The Cross

    Contributed by Carl Allen on Mar 3, 2008
    based on 21 ratings
     | 24,528 views

    The shame of the cross is frequently forgotten by modern-day Christians. Crucifixion was the ultimate in insult and public contempt for a criminal. It is impossible for us even to begin to understand the horror of the cross to the sinless soul of the i

    The Joy of the Cross Hebrews 12:2 Intro We have heard many sermons on the sufferings of Christ on the cross. Words do not have the capacity to communicate the suffering Christ experienced as he died for our sins. The loneliness of the cross was terrible. Jesus was forsaken by his friends. In ...read more

     | 5,578 views

    The day Jesus was crucified, we read of a man who was apprehended, convicted of serious crimes, and sentenced to death. His guilt was beyond question, and yet he was released, set free and pardoned of all charges. In his place, and innocent man died.

    The Day the Criminal was Set Free Mark 15: 6-15 This had been a week of extreme emotion for all involved. Jesus, our precious Lord, was in His last hours prior to the crucifixion. These events have taken place very early on Friday morning. Just five days before Jesus had made His triumphant ...read more

    At the cross we see the love of God shown to mankind.

    At the Cross is …Love Luke 23:32-43 Introduction- Today I start a series called “At the Cross.” We will look at the cross to see what Jesus has done for us and provided for us. It will conclude as we look at the empty tomb and His resurrection on Easter Morning. The most ...read more

    One criminal mocks. The other asks for Jesus to remember Him. Two responses that are still the heart posture of much of humanity.

    To share how pride cons us into a life separate from God and how we must re-claim our relationship to Him!

    Last week I share with you about The Thief Named Grudge and I do hope that by exposing Grudge that we all are better equipped to keep our him from robbing us of the valuable things he steals from our lives; Joy, Time, and of course our focus. I believe it is a great thing that we were able to ...read more

    On The Cross: The Death Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Dec 7, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,157 views

    Part 1 of a 2 part series on the Death and Burial of Jesus. By integrating the gospels, we can easily see all of the details provided in all four gospels. This message is the crucifixion story in a logical order with nothing added to Scripture and nothing taken away.

    Luke 23:26-34 As the chief priests led Jesus away to be crucified, they laid hold of Simon the Cyrenain. Simon, (the father of Alexander and Rufus - Mark 15:21), was coming out of the country. They laid the cross on him, so that he could carry it behind Jesus. A great company of people and women ...read more

    An integrated gospel account of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, including His suffering on the cross, His death and burial, and His resurrection. Prophecies fulfilled and scripture references for “What Happened Next” are also included.

    Journey to Calvary As the chief priests led Jesus away to be crucified, he fell beneath the weight of the cross. His back was torn and bleeding. He was weakened from blood loss.

    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
     | 3,627 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

    What was it like to watch Jesus die? It would be great to hear from someone who was there. Let's hear from the centurion in charge of that crucifixion.

    AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS [Monologue – Centurion] Introduction The old spiritual asks the question, “Were you there when they crucified my Lord?” Of course, physically, that is impossible since Jesus died on the cross nearly 2,000 years ago. Yet you do understand that He ...read more

    This sermon considers the two differing outcomes of the two criminals who were led to the Cross alongside Jesus

    Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad Introduction In Luke 23:32-43, we find the story of the two criminals who were hung on a cross with Jesus. This story for these two criminals is a little bit like ’A Tale of Two Cities’. Here we have the story of one criminal displaying pride and it’s consequences, and ...read more

    The Cross of Christ has a power of "spiritual magnetism" that forces every man to look upon what Jesus did and decide what he will do with it.

    We will look at one of the greatest passages on our Lord Jesus Christ. We will examine the great example of Jesus Christ and what he did to go from the Majesty of God to a criminal’s death on the cross.

    Introduction: I recently read a great Book about a man by the name of Marshal Taylor. Marshal Taylor lived in the USA in the late 1800’s and he was born to parents that were slaves.
