Title: [03/19/2023 AM] - "To The Cross, # 1 - Matthew 26:31-56
Series: To The Cross
Speaker: Rev. Harold Miller
Bible: Matthew 26:31-56
Date: March 19, 2023
Beginning on the Lord's Day, 03/19/2023, we will be on a journey to the cross. Our journey will follow the path laid out by Matthew. So for the morning sermon read Matthew 26.31-56 and for the evening take some time in Matthew 26.57-75. These may be well-known passages, but there is much comfort for our souls to be found here. We need the entire truth of the Scriptures preached and taught to us, but no truth taught and preached more clearly, carefully, and so often as the work of Jesus Christ toward and on the cross, and His glorious resurrection. Let's major on the majors for the next few weeks!
