Our King Jesus Falsely Condemned Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 23, 2018

Jesus received a properly conducted trial by Pilate, yet Jesus still ended up being crucified. This message identifies the cause.

Message Our King Jesus Falsely Condemned. Luke 23:13-25 There is a common perception that the trials of Jesus - one conducted by the Sanhedrin and one conducted by Pilate - were both illegal and made without observation of the rule of law. That is certainly true for the “trial” by the ...read more

Luke 23:1-25 - Jesus Before Pilate

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
