The Arrest Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Hugh W. Davidson on Apr 15, 2009

Jesus was in complete and absolute control of the situation. He wasn’t the helpless victim of a cruel and unjust system and His life wasn’t snatched from Him either but He surrendered Himself to sinful hands.

A Tale Of Two Sinners

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Aug 8, 2023

How many of you have been hurt by someone in the past and you still remind yourself of that hurt? Why? Why would you torture yourself like that? I want to remind us all of the grace, the mercy, the forgiveness and the love God showed us when we gave our hearts and our lives to the Lord.

Behold Your King! (John 18:28-19:16) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 6, 2022

When we look at Jesus during his trial, what do we see? Who do we see? Also, Pilate should not be read sympathetically. He's not open-minded, and he fears the wrong thing/person.

When you read commentators on the Gospel of John, there are two very different ways to understand our story today, about Jesus' trial before Pilate. Everyone agrees that the focus of today's story, in many ways, is on Pilate. He is the only one in every scene. He's like the glue that ...read more

Without a doubt the most difficult challenge that you will ever face as you strive to live out God’s kind of love… IS WHEN - somebody hurts you, when they do you wrong, when evil is done to you or to those we love.

He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the ...read more
