Emphasis: Understanding the cross of Jesus forms the heart of our character.

  • The Family’s Pain:
    25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” 27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
    • Love in the midst of pain
    • Lead in the midst of pain
    • Live in the midst of pain
  • The Pain of Crucifixion:
    45 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. 46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). 47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.” 48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. 49 The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”
    • Behind Crucifixion is suffering
    • Behind Crucifixion is hope
  • “I Am Thirsty”
    28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips.
    • Jesus’ Physical Humanity
    • Jesus’ Awareness of Scripture
    • Jesus’ Awareness to Complete His Task

Vision: To see equipped members fulfilling the Great Commission.
