Be My Witnesses

Instead, we’re to be busy telling others about Jesus until his return.

The Cross

The cross of Christ is the dividing point of human history. It is a stumbling block to some and to some it is the power of God. This series explores the cross and why it is much more than the gold jewelry we wear around our necks.

Which Side of the Cross?

April 17, 2011 | Luke 23:32-43 | easter

Pastor Gary Combs concludes the three-part sermon series entitled “The Cross.” This message asks the question “Which side of the cross are you on?” Taken from Luke 23, the Gospel writer recorded that Jesus was crucified between two criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
