    Our Kingdom Is Not Of This World But Of God

    Contributed by Richard Papafio on Mar 13, 2018
     | 2,650 views

    We don't belong to the earth or the world but to God and His holy child Jesus

    May the peace of the Lord be with you. Topic: OUR KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD BUT OF GOD John 18:33-36King James Version (KJV) 33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? 34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing ...read more

    What's The Truth

     | 9,211 views

    Jesus receives the title, “King of the Jews,” but he declares that his kingdom is not of this world and it is a kingdom of truth.. If it is not of this world, then where is it? And, where can we find the truth? Is God’s kingdom confined to heaven, or does

    INTRODUCTION Pilate’s question, “What is Truth?” was a hotly debated question centuries before he took his first breath and for millennia after he took his last. With so many religious purveyors of truth, we have come to question the reality of absolute truth. Relative truth is currently ...read more

    Behold The King: The Cross Before The Crown

    God’s desired will — with omissions and out of sequence — is no longer God’s will. The cross could not be bypassed. Jesus had to wear the crown of thorns before He could wear the crown of the Kingdom.

    Behold The King: The Cross Before the Crown (Various Portions of the Gospels) 1. One blogger writes, “Today, I was waiting at the bus stop and noticed a girl that I played netball with. I ran across the road to meet her and she ran across the car park to meet me. We hugged and looked at each other ...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

    THIS IS A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE THAT SPEAKS OF THE EXCITEMENT WE SHOULD HAVE AT THE BIRTH OF CHRIST, THE KING OF KINGS.

    OUR ULTIMATE RULER JOHN 18:28-38 THE BIRTH OF A ROYAL BABY IS ALWAYS AN EXCITING EVENT FOR THE NATION, AND FOR THE WORLD. I REMEMBER THE HAPPINESS THAT SURROUNDED THE BIRTH OF WILLIAM AND HARRY FOR PRINCESS DIANA AND CHARLES. A TOWN CRYER STOOD OUTSIDE BUCKINGHAM PALACE AND ANNOUNCED WILLIAM’S ...read more

    For This Purpose I Was Born Series

     | 10,776 views

    Jesus' testimony before Pilate spoke of the purpose of His coming. Though we speak of joy and peace in Christ, it is essential that He came to bring salvation. This He has done through presenting His life as a sacrifice. Those who believe are ushered into His Kingdom.

    “Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, ‘Are you the King of the Jews?’ Jesus answered, ‘Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?’ Pilate answered, ‘Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. ...read more

    This message looks at the problems in the arrest and trial of Jesus. Was preached in two parts on Good Friday

    It had been a full week, it had started with the crowds on the streets of Jerusalem and now here they were, just the thirteen of them in a private room celebrating the Passover. And only two people in that room knew where the night would lead. Jesus, because he was. . . Jesus. And Judas because ...read more

    Christ was crucified and raised from the dead to deliver a people for His Name into His eternal Kingdom.

    In the midst of darkness, God’s glory blazes. When evil appears to triumph, grace prevails. When dark denizens of this fallen world convince themselves they have defeated grace, righteousness conquers. These themes are written large in accounts provided of the brief hours leading to the ...read more

    The Obvious Truth Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Mar 30, 2016
     | 7,541 views

    When Pilate is asked to judge the guilt of Jesus Pilate finds himself asking a very significant question: What Is Truth? The truth is that Jesus is declared innocent by Pilate, but He is still put to death because Jesus is also an inconvenience.

    Message John 18:28-40 The Obvious Truth Who ate the lollies? Not me. Not me. Not me. Every parent has had that conversation at one time or another. So, you go to the old faithful approach. “I can tell you are lying when you stick out your tongue”. Who ate the lolly? Not me. Not me. (muffled ...read more

    Jesus' Kingdom

    In his exchange with Pilate Jesus revealed some important aspects regarding the nature of His kingdom.

    JESUS’ KINGDOM John 18:28-40 1) Jesus’ kingdom is one of integrity (28-32). Vs. 28-‘by now it was early morning’. Think of the fact that this had been going on all night. Some of you may have pulled ‘all-nighters’ before. At this point Jesus has already been up ...read more

    When Jesus said, To this end was I born, He was acknowledging His incarnation.

    FOR THIS I CAME. John 18:33-37. The interview between Pilate and Jesus paints a pathetic picture. The King of kings stood accused before the tribunal of an earthly governor. The prisoner appeared so unlike the usual kind of revolutionary that you could almost hear the scorn in the prefect’s ...read more

    Jesus stands before Pilate. Jesus’ kingdom is not from this world, but he is still King of kings and Lord of lords.

    John 18:28-40 "Where's the Kingdom?" INTRODUCTION It has often been said that Jesus, "Lived so that he could die." Such comments stress the crucifixion, but down play Jesus' life. I think it might be more accurate to say that Jesus died because he lived. In other words, Jesus bringing in the ...read more

    Christ The King

    Today on Christ the King we recall that the essential character of kingship means personal allegiance to one person. To say Christ is King implies that we are subjects.

    33B There’s a famous remark from a Modernist priest named Alfred Loisy: “Jesus came proclaiming the Kingdom, and what arrived was the Church.” Maybe his remark was a little like those T-shirts that say something like, “My parents went to the Grand Canyon and all I got was this lousy ...read more
