Gethsemane: Place For Prayer, Place For Betrayal Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Apr 2, 2012

For Jesus, Gethsemane was a place of worship, a place to surrender his will to the Father; for Judas, it was a place to completely betray Jesus. No location can substitute for the heart.

Gethsemane: Place for Prayer, Place for Betrayal (Matthew 26:36-50) 1. I found a strange article Friday titled, “Bear Saves Man in Mountain Lion Attack.” 2. “Robert Biggs, 69, who often hikes in the Whisky Flats area, came across a mother bear and her cubs, which were about 40 feet from where he ...read more

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 9, 2023

What does Jesus mean to you? For Mary, He was worth everything she had. For Judas, He was worth 30 pieces of silver.

Worship is the act of sacrificially giving something precious to Jesus. What would that be for you? Your money? Your time? Your job? For the woman in this story, it was a container of perfume. Let's dive into her story. This story takes place just before Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey. ...read more

The Body And Blood Of Christ; Corpus Christi; The Lord's Supper

Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 17, 2023

In one and the same act, Judas hands Christ over to be sent to death, and Christ hands himself over in his self-giving in the Eucharist to us.

St. Thomas Aquinas says we often remember unusual things better than familiar things because things with a weird twist make a greater impression on the mind, which is also validated by the modern neuroscience of memory. So, here are some unusual truths about the Eucharist: The customary or valid ...read more

The Twelve Apostles Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Mar 12, 2015

Jesus had personally demonstrated His authority previously in Matthew. He now delegates that same authority to His apostles so that they may carry out His ministry to the world.

"If I Had It To Do Over Again,..."

Contributed by Paul Norwood on Mar 16, 2015

Sermon could be used leading up to Easter concerning individuals who made poor decisions leading to the arrest and then the trials of Jesus. Their sins are probably similar to those we have committed. Would they (we) do the same thing over again?

Washing Feet Reveals The One Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 25, 2021

When it came right down to it, Jesus was the one who paused to wash everyone's feet before the Passover meal. What does this action reveal about those who were there and what should we learn from this event? Consider these thoughts from Scott Jewell, our Family Minister.

When I graduated from the seminary in the 90s, I was given two reminders that day. The first was a diploma, to show that you’ve completed their training to lead. The second was a towel to remind you that to lead is to serve. To further reinforce that idea for all students, they placed a ...read more

Crisis: Dangerous Opportunity

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 14, 2001

Jesus precipitated a crisis for others around Him: for Judas, for the disciples, for Peter. Their reactions are like ours -- confused -- but Jesus knows who He is in the midst of the crisis.

I’m sure that you have heard many times now that the Chinese character that is usually translated by the English word “crisis” is actually made up of two components – one character that means “dangerous” and the other that means “opportunity.” Put “dangerous” and “opportunity” together, and you ...read more

How can you tell you may be bordering on betrayal? Learn from Judas, Peter and the other disciples in this exposition of Luke 22:24-38.

“The Sign of Secret Sins” Luke 22:24-38 How can you really tell what’s going in someone’s mind? You can’t! The best we can do is listen for verbal signals and watch for visual signals.
