"I Thirst” Jesus Is Thirsty. Series

Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Apr 13, 2022

Jesus was also showing us that what we need when things get to their worst is a thirst to overcome our dry faith.

Sermon Good Friday 2022 Seven Last Words “I Thirst” Jesus is Thirsty. This may appear overly simplistic. The temptation is to take these words and interpret them in some overly spiritualized manner.

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

A Redemption Story (John 19:38-42) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 14, 2022

Nicodemus overcomes his fear, and the darkness, to courageously, openly, come to Jesus. A true disciple, is an open disciple.

This morning's sermon is going to have a different feel. The actual passage we are reading is only five verses. But these five verses build on a few other passages in the Gospel of John. And what these verses will help us do, is get a sense of the book as a whole. I'm hoping, after this ...read more

Well, even that isn’t completely true. Even though the story of the three kings comes alive each ...read more

Responses To Those Who Doubt Jesus's Resurrection

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Apr 15, 2022

Some people today still doubt whether Jesus really rose from His death. This sermon responds to some of their arguments biblically and logically.

Today Christians around the world celebrate the resurrection of Christ Jesus. Three days after Jesus died, He rose again. This event never happened to anybody else.

The Dignity Of The King Vs. The Depravity Of Humanity

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 21, 2022

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.

Rolling Stone Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 23, 2022

There are lots and lots of ways that we can put Jesus in a tomb and roll a stone over it, but there is no tomb strong enough, my friend, no stone too heavy that Jesus can’t smash it to pieces.

[Remember ... the members have been placing stones at the foot of the cross for the past seven weeks of Lent and the pile of stones around the bases has gotten pretty impressive ... powerful visual. But when they come in on Easter morning, the stones are all gone.] [Read Luke 15:11-24.] You’ve ...read more

The Personification Of Truth Vs. The Pettiness Of Skepticism

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 24, 2022

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 Victory Of The Crucified King

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 25, 2022

Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941), the assassination of President Kennedy (November 22, 1963), and the terrorist act upon America (September 11, 2001) are all considered "infamous" days. The true "day of infamy" was 2000 years ago, when we attempted to kill God Incarnate.

The central theme of the Gospel is that the Lord Jesus was placed upon the cross for the redemption of our sins. It was an act of mercy, love, grace, and salvation that we did not deserve (Romans 5:6-11). It was also the day that rebellious humanity shook its fist at God Almighty, and the ...read more

The Greatest Words Jesus Ever Said

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 26, 2022

There have been figures throughout history who have had a way with words that have changed lives as well as the destinies of nations. However, the three words Jesus said from the cross - "It is Finished!" gave humanity freedom and forgiveness from sin forever.

There have been people who throughout the progression of civilization have had a way with words and seem to possess a unique grasp of language. They have an eloquence of speech, saying things that are deeply profound. The Lord Jesus was just such a person. Throughout the years of His recorded ...read more
