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

Sermon On The Jigsaw Connection

Contributed by William Meakin on Sep 1, 2023

A jigsaw puzzle is defined as a picture or etching, usually portraying an item of interest, embossed onto cardboard or wood and cut into various pieces of differing shapes and sizes that are purposefully and befittingly joined together.

Lost & Pretending

Contributed by Captain Emily Vincent on Jul 11, 2023

Jesus tells the parables about the lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost son, but how can this relate to us today in our modern world? And how can we as Christians be pretending? Will God be able to tell who we really are behind the person we have created ourselves out to be?

Guys…I want to be really honest with you this morning… I love that we get to do some amazing things, but honestly.

The Coming Of The King Series

Contributed by Steve Malone on Jan 6, 2022

Matthew kicks off his Gospel with his genealogy, because he wants everyone (including us today) to know that Jesus is the Christ, the son of David... the King! And as King Jesus has - the authority to speak, the power to rule, the desire to include and the right to reward.
