Summary: The Lord has called us to a life of sacrifice both of our possessions and of ourselves. The Christ within brings us to a cross, denying ourselves, and living for Him and for others.

Summary: Endurance in trials is needed by the Christian living in the end times, not allowing himself to be deterred or intimidated by any shame associated with those testings. The Cross of Christ becomes not only the source of spiritual provision but the great example for the Christian in facing trials.

Summary: The shadows and types in the Old Testament revealing the work of the Cross in providing communion with Christ, failures in the sanctified life, sweetness for the bitter circumstances of life, the fruit for food in time of battle, and the longings for the life when it seems there are no longings. The Cross/Christ is the true theology of the Christian.

Summary: The work of Christ on the cross is the most powerful work that has ever been wrought in history. Its infinite work is even known in a sinner's life before coming to Christ through prevenient grace. It then works throughout the believer's life, taking him deeper and deeper in the new humanity that Christ as the Second Man came to bring. From sins, to sin, and then the work upon self.

Summary: This message presents the cross in Christ's life and death, and how we are to observe His dying and death for our own lives as an example in bearing our appointed cross. Christ was obedient even to the death of the Cross, and our obedience must extend to even the submissiveness of our appointed cross. How does the cross come to us? Through our circumstances.

Summary: To be delivered from the guilt of sin is one thing, but to be delivered fro the present evil age is another. Both are accomplished through the cross of Christ.

Summary: In a time when contemporary Christianity speaks of Christ's death and the symbol of the cross, it denounces what the cross meant in the death of Christ other than that Christ died for us. The Cross becomes the symbol of the rejection of the powers of the flesh and self, dying to both of them. It also reveals how ultimate obedience must be.

Summary: What spirit did Christ have in dying on the Cross? It was the meek and lowly spirit. We all must have Christ's "spirit of the cross." Otherwise our trials and testings will produce a stench that is not becoming to the Christian. We must have the precious fragrance of Christ.

Summary: Taking the various patterns in the Old Testament of the coming cross and the New Testament presentation of Christ's cross.

Summary: Christianity has changed over the years, and we have come to a Christianity that does not include the cross life for the Christian. Christ became the example of living the cross sacrifice moment by moment.
