025-13 — The Story Isn’t Over
Published by Jeff, on March 28th, 2005 in 025 A Fresh Start With Jesus, Front Page, Sermons, Spiritual Health.Week 13 (and final) of this series.

025-12 — He Wears a Crown of Thorns
Published by Jeff, on March 20th, 2005 in 025 A Fresh Start With Jesus, Front Page, Sermons, Spiritual Health.Week 12 of this series…
In this message, I dramatize the crucifixion event by giving a first person perspective of the event from one who saw everything. The point is that our king is the one who wears a crown of thorns.
Mark 12:35-14:26
In this message, I discuss the issue of sacrifice. Stated simply, we can make sacrifices because God cares for us!
Sacrifice is a word that isn’t very well received. Especially in American culture, we don’t ever want to sacrifice anything. However, in Mark 12-14, there are at least four significant sacrifices that are mentioned. Jesus talks about his own sacrifice for us, he notices a huge sacrifice made by a widow, and he is the recipient of an extravagant sacrifice made by another woman. However, Jesus also talks about some sacrifices his followers will have to make. The good news is that we can make sacrifices because God will care for us. Listen to the message to get more!

Greetings, interesting article. There are a few people who would disagree with you, for starters take Johm MacArthur. He recently opened up his 40 year vault of messages free to the public. He has 100s of messages devoted to the 5 points of Calvinism, which he strongly supports. He also has many messages on a pre-trib rapture, which he also supports. Boice, Barnhouse, Lutzer, etc. are just a few of the well known preachers who are 5 point and pre-trib. S. Lewis Johnson, considered by some the greatest exposito of the 20th century, was also Calvinistic and believed in the rapture. So, there are a few men who have studied the scriptures far more than you and I who came to a different conclusion.
