As humans in a fallen world, we desire to be autonomous. We want to be a law onto ourselves. This, of course, is a distortion of the authority that God granted to Adam and Eve in Eden. We must be mindful of our desire to rule over a kingdom we have no authority to rule.Doug Crawford

Many did not recognize Jesus after He had been raised from the dead, and for various reasons. Tony has decided to camp on this for a couple of sermons.

That is what part 1 of this two part series…

Did you know that the cross is “your story?” Did you ever think of Jesus’ crucifixion as your story? It is. Gloriously, it is the way we are forgiven for our sins. But it is more. The cross ushers us into new life, just like a marriage ceremony leads you into a new life.Tony Plummer

When judgment begins for the household of God, the household of God needs elders who are all in.Dr. Jeff Rich

Jesus is shackled and chained. He is led off to begin the six trials that He must go through before being crucified. The lesson in all of this for us? It is after Peter denies Jesus three times and Jesus turns and looks at him. What did that look mean? What did Jesus communicate when He looked at Peter? It caused Peter to “weep bitterly” and maybe …
