Contributed by Bramwell Hayes on Apr 13, 2006

A consideration of how much we value Christ, using the betrayal of Judas as a starting point

Thirty pieces of silver, or as we would say it today, thirty silver coins. The traditional price of a slave. The fine that an owner of an ox would have to pay if it gored somebody to death. A decent sum of money for an ordinary, working member of the public. A decent sum of money, but not a ...read more

Judas … The Fallen Disciple Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 22, 2005

Judas was given all the privileges of being a disciple, yet he still did not understand the need to totally submit to Jesus. As modern disciples we need to be sure that our heart has been captured by the Lord.

Judas … the fallen disciple Does anyone here know a person called Judas? It doesn’t have to be a friend or relative ... just anyone. Someone you have met? I doubt we would have. In fact to test my theory I used the internet to look up the popularity of this name. This is the response of one ...read more

And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers." 33 Peter said to Him, "Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death." 34 ...read more

The Way: On Trial Series

Contributed by David Richardson on Mar 28, 2004

The Path to Jerusalem for Jesus contained His Betrayal, His Arrest and His Persecution. Our lives as Christians will also, in some form or another, contain similar Betrayals, possible confinement and most assuredly persecution. Are you up to it?

The Way: On Trial John 14:1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God ; trust also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you.

My wife as soon as her gas tank hits half a tank, she says it’s time to get gas but me on the other hand will drive my truck till I nearly run out of gas. Being tired and weary is a physical symptom that indicates the body needs rest and refreshment.

What Jesus Knew

Contributed by Terry Barnhill on May 11, 2010

He’s telling you not to be surprised “if the world hates you”, and then he’s telling you why it hates you. It’s precisely because “we love our brothers.”

In preparing the sermon for today, a singular thought pressed on me repeatedly. We read the stories of Jesus. We recite the Creeds of Christendom, and we share the understanding that Jesus was fully God and fully man . . . the divine paradox. But how often are we really willing to make the ...read more
