Sermon Series: Commands of the Cross
Jesus Christ willingly entered into the world in order to provide salvation through his sacrificial work upon the cross, as he atoned for the sins of all those he would call to himself. Not only did he secure our salvation in his perfect sacrifice, his obedience that caused him to suffer and die, is a calling for every believer to follow his commands. These acts of obedience for every Christian, as recorded in the Scriptures, are to dominate our lives as we desire to love Christ as he first loved us. In this series, leading up to and including Easter, we will look at the biblical response every Christian should have that results from what Christ has done, so we can follow them for his glory and our most fulfilling life.

Most of us agree that unity is a good thing. But somehow, we find ourselves quite short of what Jesus prays for: that we would be one as He and the Father are one. What stops us from being united as a people, and how can we overcome those things?

One of the easiest things we do is concern ourselves with what is important to us. When Jesus came to earth and died upon the cross, it was not for his own benefit but for the glory of God and for the salvation of people. As Christians the command that comes from...
