"The Cross"
I was privileged and honored to lead last week’s Lenten Vespers service. My Pastor gave me a sermon to put into more modern English. I thought I’d post it here. Enjoy.
Sermon by: Henry Sieck (Circa 1913)
Edited/Modernized by: Matthew Fenn
Delivered: Wednesday of Laetare (Lent 4), 2013
Christians love to hear the message that their sins are forgiven by Christ. It’s our oxygen. We breathe it in. It is the fuel that powers Christian living. To know that all of my sins, past, present, and future, have been forgiven because of Christ’s death in my place gives tremendous comfort to broken reeds [...]
In the April 15, 1999 Watchtower, the article entitled “The Only Way to Everlasting Life” asks, “What is the only way to everlasting life?” What’s their response? How would you respond? The article provides a quotation from Romans 6:23, “The gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord”. A good answer right? [...]
Human beings have not kept the law of God but have transgressed it. Their corrupted human nature, thoughts, words, and deeds battle against the law. For this reason they are subject to God’s wrath, to death and all temporal afflictions, and to the punishment of the fires of hell. As a result, the Gospel, in [...]
Jehovah’s Witnesses are told (at least the vast majority of them) that Jesus is not their mediator. (1 Tim. 2:5) Their Bible Dictionary: Insight on the Scriptures (1988), under the heading: Those for Whom Christ is Mediator, says:
The Watchtower
“The apostle [...]
I know a few people today who I would call, “lone ranger” Christians. They like Christ, but not the Church. They are opposed to “institutional” Christianity. They would rather be by themselves, and not in attendance at a local congregation. It’s just them, their bibles, and the Holy Spirit.
However, I think that not only [...]
23 “Lord,” someone asked Him, “are there few being saved?” He said to them, 24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because I tell you, many will try to enter and won’t be able 25 once the homeowner gets up and shuts the door. Then you will stand outside and knock on [...]
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21 NIV)
Someone tried to use this verse to tell me that the person who will be saved and go to heaven has to “do [...]
Found this nugget on the Founders Ministries Blog by Tom Ascol entitled, “Preach Christ crucified no matter what.”
Why don’t men preach Christ crucified? John Stott offers some profound insights on this question with his analysis of the offense of cross, from his commentary on Galatians. I am humbled and challenged by this reminder.
Greetings everyone! My name is Jacob Marcelloni and I am happily married to my wife Melissa. We have one daughter named Emma who is now three and a half months old. My wife and I are members of Grace Baptist Church of Essex where we are really blessed to have both sweet fellowship and sound [...]
