    The Trial Of Jesus - A Tale Of Truth And Power

    based on 24 ratings
     | 8,975 views

    Jesus’ discussion with Pilate during His trial has some powerful messages about power and about truth.

    I’m always astounded at that point in the narrative of Christ’s final hours when Pilate says to Him: “Don’t you realise I have power either to free you or to crucify you?” To which Jesus replies, using the WJB paraphrase version of the Bible: “You’re kidding aren’t you? You … power over ME! Not ...read more

    An Exodus Meditation

     | 4,182 views

    This is a Lenten meditation examining the relevance of the Exodus event for Christians.

    The term “fear” has two important connotations: it expresses a reverential respect for God in matters both moral and spiritual, and it also implies cowardice and timidity. On this period of Lent, as we ponder the significance of the Exodus event, we encounter an interesting dynamic between fear (in ...read more

    #2 of 3 teachings. There is a great need for Christians to awaken to the unique call & destiny awaiting all those who follow Jesus. Yet how many treasures of God’s Kingdom are never claimed because we try to remain civilians in a time of war?

    Last week we introduced “Contending for Your Destiny”. The premise is this… 1. God has wonderful promises for you & your household! YOU have a destiny in Christ in this lifetime 2. Those promises won’t be answered without a battle. 3. God is looking for YOU to stand up & CONTEND with HIM for the ...read more

    A short but important sermon for a Wednesday morning Communion. Jesus made himself famous in the power of the Spirit in word and deed. We are called to do the same.

    Is news about Jesus travelling fast in Billericay? Perhaps for some people the news has come and gone and is now in the past, almost forgotten, occasionally recalled when something happens – a subconscious memory; a little bit like the Boxing Day Tsunami – when we think about it we are ...read more
