Crucifixion on SermonAudio

Who are you in Christ, and where does your true identity come from?

Paul reminds us that we can never earn righteousness through our own efforts or religious accomplishments. We are made right with God through faith in Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice accomplished...

The sermon examines the people's misinterpretation of Jesus' cry from the cross, where they mistake his call to God for a summons to Elijah. It argues that this error highlights the necessity of careful biblical interpretation and underscores the theological truth that Jesus does not need rescue.

The exposition d...

The sermon explores the theological concept of substitutionary atonement by contrasting the release of the criminal Barabbas with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

This lesson examines the trial and crucifixion of Jesus as a definitive illustration of the dangers of pragmatic and utilitarian ethics.

The teaching contrasts this with the so...

The message further emphasizes Christ...

In "God Brought His Own Tent," Charles Sebold finishes Luke 9:28-36. Moses and Elijah spoke of the exodus Jesus would fulfill at Jerusalem, while the disciples were heavy with sleep, as they would be again in Gethsemane while He prayed about His death. Yet Jesus does not cast them off for their weakness; He wants them with Him. Waking, they see His glory. Moses only reflected a fading glory and ha...

The message...
