Title: Carrying the Cross Speaker: Mr. David Cottington Date: September 2, 2026 Bible: John 19:19 The sermon centers on the inscription placed on Jesus' cross by Pilate, interpreting it as a profound theological truth about Christ's kingship and sacrificial atonement. It encourages believers to view their own burdens through the lens of Jesus' suffering, finding comfort in His shared experience and the promise of eternal glory. The message emphasizes that carrying one's cross for Jesus' sake leads to sweet communion with Him and transforms temporary afflictions into a weight of eternal glory. By focusing on the finished work of Christ, believers are invited to rejoice in their trials as evidence of their fellowship with the King who conquered death.
