We pick up the story today with Mark’s record of the second trial of Jesus. There were six trials; ...read more

The little churches in Galatia were facing a serious issue—and they didn’t know what to do about it. It may seem surprising, but their problem revolved around the fact that they were growing. And the new people (there seemed to be more and more of them all the time!) just weren’t fitting in. It ...read more

Fact Or Fantasy?

Contributed by Paul Stokes on Dec 20, 2005

Carol Service sermon asking whether we regard the Christmas story as merely a story, or are there facts which should make us sit up and respond?

Trial 0f Jesus - Caiaphus Series

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Apr 13, 2022

As we look at the trial of Jesus, we will see how the religious leaders disregarded their own laws regarding the legal proceeding of a capital crime (one worthy of death). In this integrated gospel account, we will also see the fulfillment of prophecies written by David.

It was Preparation Day, the day before the Passover Sabbath. In the darkness of the early hours of the morning, Jesus was arrested. The crowd of guards and soldiers led him bound to Annas. Although Annas had previously been the high priest, Caiaphas his son-in-law was the high priest that year. ...read more
