HEALTHY CHURCH

Why was the Cross Needed?
Gary Waddell - Victory Ministries of Middle Tennessee 5/2/2017
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. (1Co 1:18)
As many were astonied at thee; His visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: (Isa 52:14)
There are several verses in the Bible that speak about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ but for a few minutes today, let’s focus on one very important the reason the cross was needed.
TOO PROUD TO FORGIVE
Gary Waddell - Victory Ministries / Middle Tennessee 7/6/2017
Mar 11:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Luke 11:4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
I heard a little saying not too long ago that speaks about un-forgiveness, and it struck a chord with me.
“ Unforgiveness is like setting yourself on fire with the hopes that the recipient will die of smoke inhalation.”
Insignificant

“After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.”
(1 Sam 24:14).
The Oxford Dictionary’s definition for Insignificant is: ‘having little or no importance or value’.
Something to Celebrate

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away” (Rev 21:4).
Why People Have Stopped Memorizing Scripture
David W Daniels - Battle Cry - Issue Date: November/December 2000
(David W Daniels, author of "The King James Bible Companion")
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16)
Scripture memorization is a lost art. I found out why.
Hebrews 1:1-2“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;”
