The King & the Cross - Matthew 26:47-68: We spend our lives chasing control - power, leverage, the ability to protect ourselves. Then we meet Jesus in chains. In Matthew 26:47–68, the most powerful man who ever lived is betrayed with a kiss, arrested without resistance, tried unjustly, mocked and spat on. And yet, He is not a victim. He is a volunteer. Jesus refuses the sword, entrusts His reputation to the Father and absorbs humiliation to bring freedom to others. This is the upside-down power of the kingdom: strength through surrender, victory through humility, life through the cross. Come explore the Humiliated King - and the freedom He offers.Join us in person and online at 9 or 11am. Bring a friend!

The King & the Cross - Matthew 26:31–46: When life gets heavy, we tend to do one of two things: stumble in disappointment or drift into spiritual sleep. In Matthew 26:31–46, Jesus faces betrayal, fear, and crushing pressure—and shows us a better way. Not grit. Not bravado. But surrender. In the garden, Jesus meets weakness with prayer, suffering with obedience, and fear with trust in the Father. This is a story for anyone tired of holding it together and wondering where strength actually comes from. Join us this Sunday as we explore scandal, slumber, and the freedom found in surrender.Join us in person and online at 9 or 11am—bring a friend!

The King & the Cross - Matthew 26:17-30: So much of our lives revolve around food. We plan our meals, we look forward to special dinners, we gather around the table with family and friends to celebrate significant occasions. If you knew you only had one more chance to share a meal with people you are close with, people you love, who would they be? In this week's passage, we are closing in on the last few days of Jesus' life and He was faced with this scenario. We see Him gather with the twelve disciples, His closest friends over the past three years. This would be their last meal together. But there would be a dramatic twist in the plot. Those that are closest to us can sometimes be the ones who hurt us the most. Jesus was about to experience this terrible reality. Join us as we journey with Jesus through this intimate moment with His closest followers. You might be surprised by where you find yourself in the story.  

Christ went to His sufferings with perfect love for His Father and His sheep.

The King & the Cross - Matthew 26:1-16: What does love look like? A flutter of emotion? A deep commitment? We may not define love easily, but we recognize it when we see it. This Sunday we meet an unnamed woman whose extraordinary act of devotion to Jesus is both surprising and beautiful. While others misunderstand her or act from greed and self‑interest, her extravagant gift reveals what true love really is. Her story invites us to love Jesus with the same wholehearted generosity - and to let His love flow through us.Join us for worship this Sunday at 9am or 11am.Bring a friend!

Matthew brings us the next in our series Tough Talks, looking at what it means to follow Jesus who died on the cross.

https://drummoynebaptist.org.au/podcast/mp3s/915Radford231125-Matthew10v38-39-HaveYouTakenUpYourCross.mp3     38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.

Because of what Jesus endured for us, we are called to follow Him—even when it looks like weakness to the world.

To Be Like Him | He Denied Himself and Took Up His Cross | Matthew 16:24-28This year, we're studying the gospels as one harmonious story in order to see the glory of God as revealed through them with the clearest picture of God in the person of Jesus painted for us and “To Be Like Him.”In today's sermon, our CORF Speaker David Mengi discusses the call of a disciple to deny himself and take up his cross as a follower of Jesus Christ.

In this week's message, Pastor Alex invites us to reflect on what it really means to be anchored to the cross. Through honest stories, Scripture, and moments from history and today, he helps us wrestle with the cost of discipleship and the depth of Jesus' love. This isn't just about understanding the cross. It's about letting it shape who we are and how we live. If you're beginning your journey with Jesus or have followed Him for years, this message will encourage you to lean in, take up your cross, and walk in the way of Jesus with His heart.

This Sunday, as we prepare our hearts for Holy Week, we'll take a different approach to the Palm Sunday message. While we'll reflect on Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, we'll also walk through the events of His final days leading up to Good Friday. The gospel writers devote an extraordinary amount of attention to this final week - nearly half of John's Gospel focuses on it, which speaks to its significance in our faith. From the moment Jesus rode into the city on a donkey, fulfilling Zechariah's prophecy, to His cleansing of the temple, His teachings on faith and readiness, and ultimately His betrayal, every moment was intentional. Each event reveals more about who Jesus truly is and what He came to accomplish. As we follow Jesus through these crucial days, we'll see how He boldly declared His authority and divinity. He confronted the religious leaders, pronounced judgment on spiritual hypocrisy, and pointed His disciples toward the necessity of faith. His cleansing of the temple wasn't just about overturning tables, it was a declaration that true worship belongs to God alone. His cursing of the fig tree symbolized Israel's spiritual barrenness, reminding us to examine the fruit in our own lives. And when He spoke about His return, His message was clear: no one knows the exact hour, so we must always be ready. These moments weren't just historical events; they were signposts pointing to the greater purpose of Jesus' mission. As we move into Holy Week, let's reflect on the depth of Jesus' sacrifice and what it means for us today. His entry into Jerusalem signified His kingship, His actions in the temple revealed His authority and His final teachings called His followers to faithfulness. Most importantly, He willingly submitted to the Father's will, setting the stage for the cross. My prayer is that as we study this pivotal week together, we will grow in our love for Christ and our commitment to follow Him daily. I look forward to sharing this message with you!

Series: Living By Faith: Let's Be Going Title: The Branch and The Cross Passage: Matthew 21:8-11, 27:32-44 Date: 4.13.25 Message By: David Adams

As the Journey to the Empty Tomb continues, believers are invited to dive deeper into the narrative of Jesus' suffering and death, not as a tragic end but as the ultimate expression of divine love. The pain of the cross marks the climax of this journey, where the Savior takes on the weight of the world's sin and faces the wrath of God on behalf of humanity. In this moment of agony, there is not despair but hope—a hope that will be revealed in the glory of the empty tomb. In all its pain, the cross becomes the very means by which God brings about the redemption of all who believe. Today's message will explore the physical, spiritual, and victorious aspects of the pain of the cross. Through it, believers will be reminded that the pain of the cross is not the end but the beginning of the most incredible historical account ever told—the narrative of salvation, hope, and eternal life in Christ.

The cross of Jesus saves us, so we live for the glory of Jesus

Devotion: Casey McCormick

Today we begin study and meditation on Psalm 22. This Psalm has been rightly called by many commentators, “The Psalm of the Cross”.  We know that this Psalm was written by King David but as to when he wrote it or the conditions under which he was when it was written, we have no idea and can only speculate. This Psalm stands above all the other Psalms when it comes to the prophesies concerning the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.   David is called a prophet in Acts 2:30 and for sure in Psalm 22, he looked ahead one-thousand years and clearly saw the Lord Jesus Christ dying on the cross. This definitely is in the category of the Messianic Psalms.   Notices some of the verses that we know directly relate to the cross of Christ: “My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me” (v. 1).  Christ spoke these very same words on the Cross (Matthew 27:46; Mark 15:34).  “But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised by the people. All those who see Me ridicule Me; They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, "He trusted in the LORD, let Him rescue Him; Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!" (vv. 6-8).  This was fulfilled in Matthew 27:39-44. “They pierced My hands and My feet” (v. 16). This was fulfilled in Matthew 27:35. “They divide My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots” (v. 17). This was fulfilled in John 19:23-24. We will look at these, and several more of these verses, in greater detail as we go through the Psalm over the next few days.   There are many Bible teachers and scholars that believe that Jesus quoted this entire Psalm as He hung on the cross. As we read and meditate on this Psalm, we will find we are on holy ground, and like Moses, we should take off our spiritual shoes and worship our Lord!  The Psalm begins with, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me”.  This Psalm ends with, “That He has done this”.  Some believe in the original Hebrew that this actually is, “It is finished”.   In this Psalm, we see both the darkness of the Cross and the glory of the Cross.  We see the suffering of Christ and the glory that should follow.  No other place in the Bible do we get a better picture of the physical, emotional, phycological, and spiritual suffering of Christ on the cross!  We see the inner soul of Jesus as He dies on the Cross in our place for our sins.  Taking the penalty and curse of our sin upon Himself on the Cross.   A companion prophetic passage to this Psalm in the Bible would be Isaiah 53.  I would encourage you to also read it over the next few days as we continue to think about this Psalm.  It is my prayer as we think and meditate on the sufferings of Christ on the Cross that we will be more grateful and thankful and more willing to give our lives to Him for His service and His glory!   God bless!

Though found innocent, Jesus is led to be crucified. As he is mocked and scorned, the insults thrown declare the truth of the cross.
