Three days before the resurrection miracle that defined Christianity, Jesus died on an Old Rugged Cross for the sins of podcasters everywhere. Therefore, it felt right to review OLD RUGGED CROSS, a drama about two pastors fighting for hearts and minds in a small town, by beloved auteur Donald James Parker. Parker, a frequently reviewed filmmaker on this podcast, had an insanely productive streak from 2014–2016, during which he wrote ten feature films, sometimes directing and starring in them. These include his famous GRAMPS series as well as the legendary THE UNEXPECTED BAR MITZVAH, some of our favorite movies we have ever watched in the faith-based genre. OLD RUGGED CROSS is a reskin of some of Donald's favorite topics, and although it lacks some of the explosive novelty of THE UNEXPECTED BAR MITZVAH (a film that prominently featured an Orthodox Jewish family arguing about Tim Tebow), OLD RUGGED CROSS keeps the viewer engaged with an entertaining story and dialogue so unmistakably Donald it boggles the mind. For example, OLD RUGGED CROSS's three main characters are groan-inducingly on-the-nose: Parker himself plays the pure-hearted Pastor "Evan Shepherd," his evil rival is the scheming Pastor Luke "Wolf," and his love interest torn between the two holy men is "Anita Rock." Seriously. Some other tropes from Parker's work are presented well here: Pastor Shepherd observes a Saturday Sabbath, as Jewish people do, because this is more biblically accurate. Also, Shepherd is portrayed as being so devout a Christian as to alienate his wife and daughters, a biographical aspect of nearly all of Parker's self-cast characters. Why this very specific creative choice? Parker's expressive performance as Shepherd and the jaw-dropping dialogue of his script combine in a pleasing way that makes OLD RUGGED CROSS one of the most solid and entertaining entries in Parker's filmography, a real compliment considering his catalog contains some of the most legendary contemporary Christian films of all time.

Celebrating Resurrection Power: A Journey from Gethsemane to Victory In this special Easter episode of the Gospel on the Radio talk show, Pastor Jack King reflects on the life, ministry, and ultimate triumph of Jesus Christ. Drawing from the Gospels, specifically the direct accounts in the book of Mark, Pastor Jack illustrates how Jesus' ministry of hope and healing was designed to establish a "Church Triumphant" that stands against the kingdom of darkness. He discusses the spiritual weight of the Garden of Gethsemane, the human frailty of the disciples, and the profound reality that the resurrection was not just a historical event, but a victory that continues to offer hope to the brokenhearted today. -- The significance of the resurrection as the primary reason the church gathers on the first day of the week. -- A look at the ministry of Jesus through the Gospel of Mark, highlighting His use of the Word to defeat temptation. -- The "Commissioning" of the church in Matthew 16 and its historical role in pushing back spiritual darkness. -- The Triumphant Entry on Palm Sunday and the cleansing of the Temple as a restoration of true worship. -- The intense spiritual battle in Gethsemane where Jesus submitted His will to the Father for the redemption of mankind. -- A personal reflection on the beauty of the old hymns and the unchanging power of the "Old Rugged Cross." Scriptures for Further Study -- Matthew 16:18 -- Matthew 26:36-46 -- Mark 1:12-13 -- Luke 4:18-19 -- John 11:1-44 -- John 12:12-13 This is episode 1271. ******* This is the radio program with the music removed.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. “In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, a wondrous beauty I see, for 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died, to pardon and sanctify me.” What a beautiful way George Bennard described the cross of Christ in this famous hymn. This, this is the Good News of the Gospel! In the horrible, painful image of our crucified Savior, there is grace and mercy that we don't deserve—complete forgiveness for all of our wrongs. When we place our trust in Jesus, He takes our sins on Himself and gives us His spotless, perfect life. When God sees us, He sees righteousness. O what a Savior, that while we were yet sinners, Jesus died so that we might be forgiven. And here in a few days, we celebrate that Jesus conquered the grave and stands as our King who triumphs over sin and death. Let's share with others! For help, visit ShareLife.Today.

The Old Rugged Cross is one of the most beloved - and most claimed hymns! Our Christian Heritage has been to the Old Rugged Cross church on Pokagon, MI where it was first performed in its entirety and we've interviewed the couple that restored the church. We've also been to Sturgeon Bay, WI where the Friends Church is that it was first partially performed. But on this stop we're at the site where it was written - in an apartment of a professor of Albion College that became a fraternity house before it was demolished in the 60s. This marker was recently restored after the previous was destroyed in a car crash in 2020.

Today on Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson welcome professional artist and one of only nine Master Penmen in the world, Jake Weidmann. Certified through IAMPETH in 2011, Jake holds the honor of being the youngest Master Penman by three decades—and the youngest ever to achieve the title. His peers have created works for the White House, Queen Elizabeth, and even the Pope, but Jake's journey has uniquely blended calligraphy with fine art, painting, drawing, woodworking, and engraving.Jake shares how faith shaped his career from the very beginning, even when industry professionals warned him not to make it explicit. Instead, leaning into his relationship with Jesus led to surprising opportunities, including his celebrated hymn series. He also opens up about overcoming struggles with self-doubt, impostor syndrome, and the “starving artist” complex, and how God has redeemed his perspective of calling.In this conversation, Jake reveals stories of marketplace miracles—from divine provision of materials like the wood for The Old Rugged Cross, to being placed before people and companies with favor and authority far beyond what he could have imagined. His life verse, Proverbs 22:29, has marked his journey: “See a man gifted in his work. He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.”

Jesus screamed out the opening words of Psalm 22 from the cross. Written by King David, it describes a time when he was publicly humiliated and executed. It also explains how his humiliation led to the redemption of all nations. But there's one problem: this never actually happened to King David. Jewish readers couldn't understand what this Psalm was about until the death of Jesus on the cross. Listen in on track 3 of the Summer Psalms Mixtape as we explore the mystery of Psalm 22.  

This message explores the transformative power of the cross, examining how a symbol of suffering and shame became the central emblem of Christian faith and salvation. Pastor Andrew dives into the historical context of crucifixion, contrasting its original horror with its current significance for believers. He emphasizes how Jesus' sacrifice on the cross redeems not only humanity as a whole but also the individual shame and guilt of each person, offering forgiveness and freedom through faith.

In this challenging devotional, we’re invited to look beyond the familiar, graceful images of the cross and confront its raw, uncomfortable reality. Drawing from Hebrews 12:1-2, the author reveals how Jesus endured the shame, mockery, and cruelty of the cross — not as a symbol of beauty, but as a testament to His love and faithfulness. This is faith in its most extreme, honest form.

In this episode, Bob and Mary Shaffer, of the Old Rugged Cross Church and Museum, invite us into the restored, 1913 church building where the beloved hymn was first sung. They talk about how they took a collapsing barn and turned it back into a church, some of the other sites that claim "The Old Rugged Cross," George Bennard, and more!

Penal substitutionary atonement, the words are as big as their importance! On In The Market with Janet Parshall we talked to a respected bible teacher who explained the importance of these words to the lives of believers and why Christ’s death on the cross satisfied God’s wrath toward sin and created the path to eternal salvation. We all have things pulling us in different directions, sucking up our time and our energy as we struggle to advance incrementally in our tasks. But our guest explained that there is another way to use our life and precious time by pouring our efforts into discovering and pursuing our true calling. From the difference between demon possession and oppression to the power of prayer, we once again turned to our expert on spiritual warfare to answer your most intriguing and challenging questions. A well-known and highly respected apologist joined us for an important conversation about the supernatural world and God’s final authority over it. As we end the week it is time to pull the curtain back on some of the biggest headlines of the week to show you how to find the truth behind the rhetoric.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “Now it is not sufficient for anyone, and does him no good to recognize God in his glory and majesty, unless he recognizes him in the shame and humility of the cross.”~Martin Luther, 16th century German theologian and reformer “For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.”~1 Corinthians 2:2 “If thou hast but a spark of true faith in Jesus Christ, it is better than a whole volcano full of worldly wisdom.”~Charles Spurgeon, 19th century British Preacher “O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, has a wondrous attraction for me; for the dear Lamb of God left his glory above to bear it to dark Calvary.”~“The Old Rugged Cross” by George BennardSERMON PASSAGEProverbs 3:7, Proverbs 16:2, 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 (ESV)Proverbs 37  Be not wise in your own eyes;   fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. Proverbs 162  All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,   but the Lord weighs the spirit. 1 Corinthians 1 18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written,    “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,    and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.” 20 Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. 22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. 30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31 so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
