What We Behold
On The Cross
by Augustine of Hippo (c. 354-430)
"As they were looking on, so we too gaze on his wounds as he hangs. We see his blood as he dies. We see the price offered by the redeemer, touch the scars of his resurrection. He bows his head, as if to kiss you. His heart is made bare open, as it were, in love to you. His arms are extended that he may embrace you. His whole body is displayed for your redemption. Ponder how great these things are. Let all this be rightly weighed in your mind: as he was once fixed to the cross in every part of his body for you, so he may now be fixed in every part of your soul." Please share your comments and concerns.

Convocation: The Big Increase

Scripture:St. John 21:6 ...,Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find....

We are in deep prayer to increase the followers of this new church for people online.It is our thinking by way of the Holy Spirit that many people today literally live online. They conduct a large percentage of their time doing work and recreation on their computer. We understand this fact as well. Therefore this church is designed for them. There are some people who can not leave home for various reasons normally due to an illness.

Our prayer is to spread the word of God to them through this medium. We pray for all those who are online to visit us, read our message of Joy and follow. We also pray that they share is site with their contacts as well.

Jesus was waiting on the disciples to return from fishing after his death. They all returned to what they had been doing before they met Jesus. However, they were unsuccessful. Jesus said, go out again and cast the net on the right. They did so and caught so many fish that their nets broke and the boat almost sank.

We are casting net out on the right side of this site. We pray for the increase. We pray for and bless anyone who hears this prayer in Jesus name. Our prayer is for the power in the Gospel. Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, lived according to the will of God, crucified on the cross for our sins,raise for the dead,and now sits in the right side of God. Jesus will return and destroy all evil. He will create a new Heaven and Earth. We will all (who believe) live forever in perfect peace. We ask this in the name of Jesus. A-men.

The Power of the Cross..

There are numerous symbols in the world. Symbols represent from nations, corporations, organizations and families. Each symbols has particular powers. Yet, there is no symbol on earth as powerful as the sign and way of the Cross.

Jesus Christ turned the meaning of the Cross on its head. The Roman Empire used the cross as a sign of torture and punishment. Criminals and enemies of the Roman power were put to death on the cross. The pain and agony is simply too excruciating to put into words. The pain would last for hours and days without end. Jesus gave the cross new meaning and power.

Jesus endured the Roman meaning of the cross to represent the ultimate Power of God.
Christ Jesus made the Cross the road to salvation. He died on the Cross for the sins of the world. He turned the Cross from a symbol of death into eternal life in Heaven.

The Power of the Cross is beyound human understanding and reason. We see the Cross as a symbol of redemption. We thank God and Praise God for all spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus for the life and ways of the Cross. The Power of the Cross means new life and the Joy of The Lord.
