Sermons from The Crossing Church (TCCJAX) Jacksonville, FL

God’s majesty is revealed in how He sovereignly acts, how He has created, and how He sustains His creation. His majesty makes Him worthy of our praise.

Jesus did not bring some general form of peace to all of humanity – He delivered peace between rebellious humanity and God. It is that peace that pours over into the lives of those who follow Him.

Jesus’ death on the cross was no mere event in history, it was the culmination of God’s plan from before the beginning. That plan was that humanity would be created and reconciled to God in a relationship of Peace.

Jesus’ endures sorrow and anguish as the God-ordained path lies before Him. Yet, He knows that it is this path that brings reconciliation between us and the Father – a peace that could be obtained no other way.

Jesus promises the Disciples and us that it is only through him and in him that we will experience true, lasting joy and peace. Jesus has reconciled us to the Father and the Holy Spirit will align our affections with Him!

Jesus loves Judas despite his betrayal and he loves Peter despite his denial. The love Jesus demonstrates is uniquely characteristic of God and His Holy Spirit produces this love in us so that the world will glorify Jesus!

Jesus ends his public ministry and begins his glorification as he triumphantly enters Jerusalem for holy week. He declares that he will now be glorified, but the crowds struggle to understand and grasp what this means and many are unwilling to give up their own pursuit of glory.

Jesus shows us what a real shepherd looks like. A Shepherd that knows his sheep by name, that loves his sheep, and that lays down his life to protect and keep his sheep eternally.

Jesus promises eternal life to those who keep His word. He can promise us eternal life because he has life in himself. He is the self-existent God, the ‘I Am.’
