- The Resurrection Message Jesus Gave By His Seven Words from the Cross
Date: Apr 24, 2011 | Passage: Luke 24:33-45
Series: Our Risen Savior
From the dying lips of Jesus, from His raging-thirst-dried-mouth, in the midst of excruciating pain, even though being crushed by the horrors of sin and death and the pains of hell—Jesus carefully and clearly speaks. If we will listen, Jesus is speaking to each of us today from His Crucifixion. From Resurrection morning and onward, Jesus taught His disciples in the reality of what God accomplished through Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. Those disciples needed help to fully understand all that had taken place—and so do we.

- Salvation--The Only Gift Everyone Really Needs
(#01)
Date: Dec 10, 2006 | Passage: Luke 1:78-79
Christmas is all about gifts; gift giving, gift buying, and gift receiving make up so much of these weeks of the year.

(#03)

We are continuing to look at our connection to Christ in salvation, the only gift everyone really needs. We have seen that the gift of salvation has seven key elements; and have examined forgiveness and justification. We have come to regeneration.

- Salvation: Redemption
(#04)
Date: Feb 4, 2007 | Passage: Revelation 5:9-12
Join me for the greatest theme in all the Bible - the redemption of lost sinners by the God who so loved the world that he gave His Son to die on a cross and shed His blood to pay the price of sin! And where better to see that theme than the way we will be - singing the new song of our worthy redeemer.
- Open the Gift of Redemption
(#05)
Date: Feb 18, 2007
Redemption involves the blood of Jesus shed as He died on the Cross to pay the purchase price of our salvation. So redemption sums up Christ's death, His blood shed, His life given as a substitutionary sacrifice. So if any portion of salvation can be ranked as any more vital than any other--redemption would be at the top of the list.
