Jesus was on the cross for six hours at this point. It was about 3pm (the ninth hour of the day). Up to this point, we have seen a great bit of detail about the physical side of Jesus’ crucifixion. In this fourth statement, we are now fully introduced to the deeper anguish pressing down on the Savior.Continue reading “Seven Sayings: My God, My God, Why hast Thou Forsaken Me”

Seven Sayings: Behold thy…
John 19:25-27 In the previous two statements made by Jesus on the cross, we were given a glimpse into the salvific power of Christ. The intercessory work was demonstrated through Jesus’ prayer to the Father over the ignorance of the crowds. The immediate nature of salvation was seen in the words spoken to the penitentContinue reading “Seven Sayings: Behold thy…”
Seven Sayings: Today
The second sermon in our series, “Seven Sayings from the Cross” comes from Luke 23:35-43. Everything Jesus did and said had a purpose. There were no wasted movements or waster breath with Him. Including the words, He spoke from the cross. While I don’t think they were intended to be wordy theological dialogues like theContinue reading “Seven Sayings: Today”

Some thoughts about lay ministry.
Last year, a friend and I were talking about the ministry of the laity in the church. What is laity? Basically, these individuals are those who serve in the church and are non-ordained (commissioned to preach/pastor). However, in my association of churches, we ordain deacons and their role is different from the pastor. So, laityContinue reading “Some thoughts about lay ministry.”
Leaving a Legacy
A few years ago, I was introduced to a concept called legacy leadership. This model of leadership is one of many attempts to understand the Biblical perspective on leadership. What’s funny is there are many people who would try to appear spiritual and say something to the effect, “But the Bible says never uses theContinue reading “Leaving a Legacy”
Get out of the cave.
Last weekend, my wife and I took our children to Carter Caves and toured Cascade Cave. The guided tour was 75-minutes long and included 225 stair steps. Our children loved it, and we did too. At least, the older two that stayed awake. Our youngest fell asleep towards the end and was carried through prettyContinue reading “Get out of the cave.”
Don’t Quit
This is the recent preaching outline I used for a sermon called “Don’t Quit.” Job 14:1, “Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. Who do you know right now that you would like to tell them not to quit? Was there a point in your life, maybeContinue reading “Don’t Quit”
