It's Still the Cross: The Message of the Cross (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Text: John 3:14-18 Our culture often uses images and symbols to convey a multitude of messages. We communicate through hand motions, simple glances, emojis, and gifs. However, long before we existed, God conveyed a profound message through the cross at Calvary. In one verse of Scripture, Jesus summarized the meaning of the cross and offered a personal promise to all who believe. We invite you to listen today and make sure that you have received this good news and believed in Him. Sermon Notes Di
It's Still the Cross: The Shame of the Cross (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Text: Hebrews 12:1-3 In a culture of comfort, ease, and consumerism, it is very difficult for us to grasp the shame of the cross. We wear the cross as jewelry around our necks as a fashion statement, place it as decoration on the walls of our houses and offices, and even in the church we sing stirring and moving songs that describe the cross in beautiful terms. While these have their place, the old, rugged cross had no such glamorous appeal. It was truly a symbol of suffering, pain, and shame. T
It's Still the Cross: God's Plan Is a Cross (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Text: Acts 2:21-24 Long before a cross was lifted on the hill of Calvary, there was a cross living in the heart of God. Even before the foundation of the world, God had a plan to bring about our salvation and grant us eternal life. This plan was directly promised by God, regularly portrayed throughout the Scriptures, and ultimately fulfilled when Jesus laid down His life as a sacrificial substitute in our place. God’s wonderful plan is not simply a fact to grasp or dots to connect in study. It c
The Way of Dependence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Text: Luke 18:1-8 (ESV) Have you ever been burdened to pray for someone or something, but you eventually were distracted or discouraged, and the burden soon became an afterthought? If so, you can relate to this parable of Jesus. In this message, Jesus explains and illustrates what true dependence and desperation look like. In doing so, He calls us to get back to prayer and to truly pray in faith, believing that our Father is good and delights in answering the prayers of His children who fully de
Called Out: How We Do It! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Text: Acts 13:1-3 (ESV) When we measure a church's health by how many great leaders it can gather, we get it exactly backward. Antioch — a church loaded with gifted, diverse leadership — didn't hoard its best people. While worshiping and fasting, the Spirit set apart two of its most eminent leaders, Barnabas and Saul, and the church released them without a single recorded objection. This is what a Gospel-shaped identity produces: not a grip, but an open hand. We were saved by the Gospel and shap
