It's Still the Cross: United Through the Cross

Text: Ephesians 2:11-22

Many differences and much diversity in the body of Christ, i.e., backgrounds, experiences, personalities, giftings, etc., can create a variety of challenges. However, God strategically designed the Church in this way for His glory and our good. In this passage of Scripture, Paul does not address every possible problem or solution, but he clearly explains where we need to start if we are to walk in unity. We pray that this message encourages and helps you to focus on all that we share in Christ rather than the few things that seek to separate us. There is great unity to us when we recognize that we have been reconciled to God and to one another through the cross of Christ.

It's Still the Cross: Boasting in the Cross

Text: Galatians 6:11-16

We live in a world that encourages us to boast about our accomplishments, possessions, talents, and successes. We may take pride in our families, careers, knowledge, or personal achievements, but this message reminds us that none of these things can save our souls or provide lasting hope. There is only one thing worthy of our ultimate boasting - the cross of Jesus Christ. We pray that you are encouraged and challenged by this message as you discover three key reasons we should boast in the cross.

It's Still the Cross: Peace Through the Cross

Text: Colossians 1:17-23

What comes to mind when you hear the word peace? Perhaps you picture a quiet morning, a relaxing vacation, a family without conflict, or a life free from worry. We all desire those moments when everything seems to be going right, but what happens when life goes wrong? If our peace depends on everything around us being right, we will struggle to experience peace. Thankfully, God offers us something far greater than temporary relief – peace through the cross of Christ. We invite you to listen to this message to personally discover the truth that true peace is not found in perfect circumstances but in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, who reconciles us to God, makes us righteous in His sight, and secures our future with Him.

It's Still the Cross: The Power of the Cross

Text: Colossians 2:9-15

Many ideas and illustrations come to mind when we think of power, but none adequately depict the power that Christ displayed through His work on the cross. Earthly power may command men, armies, countries, and wealth, but it cannot save man’s soul, set him free from sin, or make him a new creation. The only power that accomplishes this is the power of God that is fully displayed in the finished work of Jesus on the cross. We invite you to listen today to consider if you have truly been changed by Jesus and to ensure that you are faithfully living it out.
