The Cross – Jesus Gives His Life | Pr. Oswald Sichula

In Jesus’ time, the Jews expected the Messiah to solve their problems and defeat their enemies with mighty power. Yet Jesus accomplished this through the power of the cross. Many of us have heard about the cross or seen people wear crucifixes, yet carry on with little thought. We know Jesus died on the cross, but do we understand the access it gives us to God the Father? Find out as Pr. Oswald Sichula explains the power of the cross and the access it gives us to the Father from Mark 15:33–41.

The King Enters Jerusalem | Pr. Chipita Sibale

Pastor Chipita Sibale preached from Mark 11:1–11 on “The King Enters Jerusalem,” teaching that Jesus is the humble King whose kingship is spiritual rather than political, calling us to submit sincerely to His lordship in true worship. The sermon emphasised that believers must be willing to submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and the passage was explained in three parts. First was sovereign preparation (verses 1–6), shows that Jesus deliberately prepared His entry into Jerusalem through command and obedience, leaving nothing to chance; the triumphal entry was fully planned, reflecting how every stage of Christ’s life—from His birth to His incarnation—unfolded under God’s sovereign authority, reminding us that nothing on earth happens by accident and that when God calls, we are to surrender everything because all things belong to Him. Second was the public celebration (verses 7–10), where the crowd’s actions fulfilled the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9 and honoured Jesus as King, demonstrating outward royal recognition. Third was the quiet divine examination (verse 11), where Jesus entered the temple and silently observed, revealing that many who praised Him publicly did not truly love Him, while Bethany represented genuine devotion. The sermon challenges us to consider what the King sees when He looks at our hearts and lives, reminding us that He is not deceived by outward appearances or religious activity, and that true submission goes beyond public praise to sincere inward devotion.
