    While Jesus stood bound in the house of the high priest, bold outspoken Peter denied Him three times.

    DENIALS AND TRUTH. John 18:15-40. Although the disciples all initially scattered immediately after Jesus’ arrest (cf. Matthew 26:56), Simon Peter and “another disciple” thereafter followed Jesus and gained entrance into the palace of the high priest. The girl at the door challenged Peter, ...read more

    We think of Jesus being on trial before Pilate, when really it was Pilate who was being challenged by Jesus. What did Jesus say to Pilate that shook this governor and challenged his entire view of life?

    Eight years ago (2013) Time magazine featured a study that proposed to name the 100 most significant people in history. This study's authors filtered through over 9000 names and came up with this list, and these are the TOP 10 of that list: 1 Jesus (it’s intriguing that Time magazine would ...read more

    The Dignity Of The King Vs. The Depravity Of Humanity

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 21, 2022
     | 1,165 views

    John 18:12-36 continues the story of Jesus' journey towards the cross as He faced His enemies and an illegal trial based on false charges. What they didn't know was that Jesus was in control and that this was part of the redemptive plan (1 Corinthians 2:7-8).

    The Lord Jesus had been arrested while in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; Luke 22:47-53; John 18:1-11). He was being hauled off to an illegal trial on false charges. This is the beginning of an obvious plot using any means possible by the Pharisees and the other ...read more

    The Personification Of Truth Vs. The Pettiness Of Skepticism

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 24, 2022
     | 1,225 views

    The drama of redemption continued as the Lord Jesus, having faced an illegal trial by the religious authorities of Israel, now faced the representative of political authority in Israel, Pontius Pilate, and the conversation he had with the true Authority.

    John 18:28-40 records the probable final conversation that the Lord Jesus has with another person before he was led off to be crucified. He had a dialogue with the Roman governor of the Judean province, Pontius Pilate, and we also see that these two men had opposing agendas. Pilate comes across ...read more

    THE HIGH PRIEST AND PONTIUS PILATE What is the main idea of the message? We must learn to listen to, walk in and practice THE TRUTH. Jesus washed his disciple’s feet in love and compassion. Pilate washed his hands in disdain and rejection. Truth. noun, 'trüth, plural truths\ ...read more

    Five Challenges With Finding The Truth Series

    Pilate's iconic "What is truth?" question is the centerpiece of a passage that highlights several of the ways that we struggle with truth in our lives.

    PILATE ASKS A GREAT QUESTION: “What is truth?” - John 18:38a. - Many ways to take it: sincere, sneering, lost, confused. - But at the end of the day, it is an essential question. - It’s not enough to be sincere in our beliefs, we need to sincerely believe something that’s true. - What about ...read more

    The King Of Truth

    People often become obsessed with royalty because they need someone to look up to, to be part of something larger than themselves. But they are always disappointed.

    We fought a war, once, to get rid of a king. Two hundred and twenty-two years ago Americans took up arms to win our independence from King George III of England. Some of the biggest issues were trade and taxes, sound familiar? “Fast Track” and IRS reform, 18th-century style. I suppose it’s always ...read more

     | 1,621 views

    We live in a day and age where people are longing for truth and wondering if it can be known. Jesus came to testify to the Truth - the reality of the seen and unseen.

    Throughout this summer we are doing an apologetic series called, “What do you believe?” In addition, during the month of August we will be offering a few sessions on cults and comparative religions. Our desire as a church is to equip people with the truth so each person can stand up for and defend ...read more

    Many people would like to wash their hands and not deal with Jesus. We all must answer the question, “What shall I do with Jesus who is called the Christ? That is the real question! A choice that has eternal consequences.

    Sermon: “No! Not This Man, We Want Barabbas!” Scripture: John 18:28-40 “Jesus’ trial before Caiaphas ended in the early hours of the morning. Then he was taken to the headquarters of the Roman governor. His accusers didn’t go inside because it would defile them, and they wouldn’t be allowed to ...read more

    Pilate The Procurator – A Double Minded Psychopath - Part 1 Of 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 13, 2022
     | 2,054 views

    Jesus was brought before a very evil man who was supposed to uphold the Roman law but compromised. It was Pilate a man who freely murdered. This message examines that man, one of the Characters of John’s Gospel, and draws several lessons from the account.

    PILATE THE PROCURATOR – A DOUBLE MINDED PSYCHOPATH - PART 1 THE CHARACTERS OF JOHN’S GOSPEL PART A. To understand the man better we will start with some secular history:- FROM DON STEWART “Pontius Pilate was the prefect of Judea from A.D. 27 to 37, and sentenced Jesus to death by ...read more

    What Is Truth?

     | 9,218 views

    Fact-checking rates claims as true or false. Someone cannot determine what is true unless they claim to hold the keys to truth. Civil unrest often stems from a clash of truths. It's important to know the "real" source of truth.

    I’ve entitled our message this morning, “What Is Truth?” based on a question posed by Pontius Pilate toward the end of our text. In the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “truth” is defined as, “the body of real things, events, and facts.” It is also defined as “a transcendent fundamental or spiritual ...read more

    Jesus stands before Pilate. It seems that Jesus is being swept away by the events surrounding Him but the TRUTH is that Jesus is the only one in control. It is Pilate and the Jewish leaders who are being swept up in a battle that they cannot see or control.

    Governor Pilate stood on the balcony of the praetorium, his headquarters, and looked down at the mobs milling around in the streets below. “Ugh!” he thought. Jewish pilgrims, priests, vendors, thieves, rebels, beggars, prostitutes … rabble! … all crammed into Jerusalem’s narrow streets … and it ...read more

    Understanding Biblical truth in a post-truth world

    The 2018 notable quote of the year came from Rudy Giuliani, an American politician who said, “Truth isn’t truth”. He meant that there are lots of versions of the truth, different versions called “alternative facts”. We live in a post-truth world. Unfortunately “truth” in the 21st century has a very ...read more

    One evening, while waiting for a bus, a young man was standing with a crowd of people looking in the widow of a taxidermist shop. In the center of the window was a large owl that attracted the attention of all who passed by. The self-appointed expert began to criticize the job done on it. “If I ...read more
