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

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!

Our sermons / Bible teaching is a central part of our gatherings.Matthew 20:17-3417 Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, 18 “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death 19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!”20 Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him.21 “What is it you want?” he asked.She said, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.”22 “You don't know what you are asking,” Jesus said to them. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?”“We can,” they answered.23 Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.”24 When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. 25 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”29 As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. 30 Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”31 The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”32 Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.33 “Lord,” they answered, “we want our sight.”34 Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.

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.

Then Jesus said to his disciples,“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save their life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?

The Characters Around The Cross Matthew 27:26–44 1.The Rulers - they passed judgment upon Christ - that He was a threat and must be destroyed (v.26). 2.The soldiers - they mocked and tortured Christ (v.26-38). 1. They scourged Christ (Matthew 27:26). “The chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). 2.They humiliated Christ before a hundred or more soldiers (Matthew 27:27). 3.They stripped Christ and put a scarlet robe on Him (Matthew 27:28). chlamús;. A garment of dignity and office. The purple robe with which our Lord was arrayed in scorn by the mockers in Pilate's judgment hall (Matt. 27:28, 31). When put over the shoulders of someone, it was an indication that he was assuming a magistracy. It may have been the cast–off cloak of some high Roman officer which they put over the body of Jesus to mock Him as if He were an official person. 4. They put a crown of thorns on the head of Christ and a reed in His hands (Matthew 27:29). 5. They bowed and ridiculed the claim of Christ to be king (Matthew 27:29). 6. They spat upon Christ (Matthew 27:30). 7. They beat Christ on the head with the reed (Matthew 27:30). 8. They stripped Christ of the kingly robe and put His own robe back on Him, aggravating the wounds. 9. They forced Christ to carry the cross until He was exhausted (Matthew 27:32). 10. They enlisted a Gentile to help with the cross of Christ (Matthew 27:32). 11.They escorted Christ to a terrible place for execution (Matthew 27:33). 12.They gave Christ vinegar mixed with gall (Matthew 27:34). 13. They crucified Christ (Matthew 27:35). 14. They gambled for the clothes of Christ (Matthew 27:35). 15.They sat down and stared at Christ (Matthew 27:36). 16.They shamed Christ and reproached His claim again (Matthew 27:37). “He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Phil. 2:8-11). 17.They added shame and reproach by crucifying Christ between two thieves (Matthew 27:38). “He was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors” (Isaiah 53:12).

Mockery and sarcasm are two of the tools Satan uses in his attempts to destroy our faith. He even used them to try to get Jesus to come down from the cross. But he failed! Show Notes: ⁠Episode 280 Subscribe: ⁠My Daily Briefing⁠
