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

Run To The Roar Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jun 26, 2021

Independence Day: This message looks at what the NT says about fighting; and it reflects on the initial battles of the American Revolution, with an application toward the spiritual conflict that we face in America today.

I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Run to the Roar.” The Fourth of July is a national holiday that many churches recognize; one which “celebrates America’s Declaration of Independence from the tyranny of England under King George the III.”(1) I find it interesting that we have a day ...read more

What Is Truth?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

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

For This Purpose I Was Born Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 23, 2018

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

But my kingdom is not from the world.” 37Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say ...read more
